About This Item
From the d.j. flap: "From Acro Twin to Zugling this encyclopaedic book is the first on the history of names and naming systems of aircraft and engines used or evaluated by the British armed forces since 1878. This research includes United States, French, Italian, Dutch and German aircraft and engines. A unique feature of the book is an alphabetic index of over 1300 names which gives 'at a glance' reference to manufacturer, name, nickname, type, first flight, Navy, Army or Air Force and engines. The Notes cover a brief history of each, and also the origin and meaning of name and nickname. A section deals in detail with United States names and nicknames of aircraft and engines used by the British in both World Wars."
