About

Covers the development of aircraft from 1914 until 1980, emphasizing the search for increasing performance.

Included are descriptions of significant aircraft which incorporated important technical innovations and served to shape the future course of aeronautical development, as well as aircraft which represented the state-of-art in a particular time frame or were much used or liked. The discussion is related primarily to aircraft configuration evolution and associated aerodynamic characteristics and, to a lesser extent, to developments in aircraft construction and propulsion.

Designed to appeal to the nontechnical reader who is interested in the evolution of the airplane, as well as to students of aeronautical engineering.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and graphs and diagrams.
