Fülszöveg

This is the first of three volumes forming a definitive work of reference to the entire output of Britain's civil aircraft industry (and of its amateur constructors) since the commencement of civil flying in 1919, presenting full details of types, ranging from single seat ultra lights to heavy jet transports, alphabetically by manu-facturers and then in logical order of designation.
It is an encyclopaedia of British civil aviation which describes 186 major aircraft types, gives specifications and photographs of all main variants, outlines their development and opera-tional histories, recalls epic flights and famous pilots, and gives full production lists which include every aircraft built for export.
Similarly arranged Appendixes illustrate and describe nearly 300 civil types built only in prototype form or in small numbers, over 150 military types flown with civil markings, and somé 270 imported foreign types. Com-pleteness of photographic coverage is such that of 49 types... Tovább

Similarly arranged Appendixes illustrate and describe nearly 300 civil types built only in prototype form or in small numbers, over 150 military types flown with civil markings, and somé 270 imported foreign types. Com-pleteness of photographic coverage is such that of 49 types described, but not illustrated, con-struction of 26 was abandoned and 15 were structurally incomplete at the time of writing.
A special 500 page Appendix gives the most complete documentation yet published on more than 16,500 individual British registered aircraft of over 1,000 different types, forming a fully illustrated British Civil Register (by types) which gives registrations, constructor's numbers, dates of íirst flights and issue of C. of A.s, aircraft names, subsequent identities and fates. Chief changes of ownership, with dates, are alsó included for most British-built aircraft.
This first volume of British Civil Aircraft since 1919 describes 355 aircraft types from A.B.C. Robin to Chilton D.W.i, includes 70 three-view drawings and is illustrated by 540 photographs, many unique and ne ver pre-viously published. Vissza
