AVIATION BOOK : WORLDS AIRCRAFT A-Z

This amazingly illustrated survey provides a comprehensive international survey of all the main plane types, civil and military, from the pioneering years to today’s transonic and aerospace flights.

Here you will see the Douglas SDB Dauntless, the US Navy’s torpedo bomber of 1939; the Piaggio P.180 Avanti, now associated with the great Ferrari racing marque; the Czech utility Let Aero 145 transport plane; the Bücker Bü-133 Jungmeister, aerobatic champion of Europe from 1935; the Japanese seaplane Shin Meiwa US-1, able to carry out rescues in 15 ft waves!

… in all, over 400 aircraft types, many famous and some rescued from obscurity by Fia O Caoimh’s acute insight into aircraft structures, applied to old drawings or photographs.
