[From back cover] Aviation and Aerospace are a phenomenon of the industrial and mechanical age in which we live, and they haveâ¨been the victims of constant transition. In spite of all these changes, it is gratifying to know that the average layman, though often exposed to seemingly technical subjects, can still have the fun and satisfaction ofâ¨understanding nearly all of them. The Aeroplane Scrap Books, as compiled and edited by Professor David⨠D. Hatfield, attest to the fact that this is an entertaining yet comprehensive way in which to present an easy-to-read text. Proof of the popularity of Aeroplane Scrap Book No. 2, left no alternative but to publish Scrap Book No. 3. Its text is equally readable, embellished with priceless, nostalgic pictures that literally prove they are "worth a thousand words". Professor Hatfield's collection on aviation history is brought to life in the Scrap Books, as is the prestige associated with the American Hall of Aviation History on the campus at Northrop University. The Scrap Books offer vivid examples of what the reader, the researcher or the aviation buff will find first-hand as he sees, hears and feels his way through the history of aviation. . .
