An Illustrated Dictionary of Aviation / Edition 1

More than a dictionary — though it certainly offers all a dictionary can — this magnificent illustrated reference work will be the centerpiece and foundation of many aviation collections. Seven years in the making, the carefully wrought handiwork of a military air leader and a dedicated writer, is virtually a visual mini-encyclopedia of aviation and all its aspects. Spanning general aviation, commercial airline operations, the military sector, and far more — airports to meteorology, avionics, aviation medicine, and beyond — this thoroughly browsable is as much learning tool as dictionary and an almost bottomless source of information and diversion. It is a treasure that anyone involved in or interested in aviation will be thrilled to own.
