Airplanes: From the Dawn of Flight to the Present Day

by Enzo Angelucci

Translated from the original Italian production, this book starts out with a history of man's pursuit of flight and then provides quite a few chapters that are set up in chronological order and then according to types of aircraft. While there aren't any photos of aircraft included, an extraordinary amount of airplanes, helicopters, and even a few rocket planes are featured through splendid drawings. Each and every aircraft has an associated paragraph describing a short history of said aircraft.
