Preserved Aircraft of the World: US and Canada
Preserved Aircraft of the World: US and Canada
The appeal of vintage aircraft lies in its social and military history, the engineering and evolutionary innovations demanded by sophisticated conflicts, as well as the landmark achievements of the aircraft and their pilots.
Included in this, the first of three volumes, are a mix of new and old, fast jets, warbirds, bombers, helicopters and vintage light aircraft from around the US and Canada. Some are rare, including prototypes that never made it into production, while others are mass-produced, with pivotal roles in armed conflict, or led the way in commercial flights.
Included in their number are the record-breakers and workhorses of the aviation world. Each entry features a photograph and description of the aircraft type and its background history as well as the locations where it can be found today. This book features over 180 colour pictures of preserved military and commercial aircraft found in the US and Canada.
