Hardcover with Dust jacket. 336 pages filled with black and white photographs. From dust jacket: "...a comprehensive and authoritative survey of man's attempts since about 1850 to build flying machines. It makes fascinating reading. More than 3,000 entries, illustrated with nearly 300 photographs, feature oddball contraptions and their eccentric designers, as well as the big companies whose aircraft have become household names. So, along with organisations like Grumman, Messerschmitt, Supermarine and Sikorsky, are the enthusiasts who built a single machine in their backyard, or like V.B. Shavrov, in a tiny one-room apartment! This book is global in scope. Each entry indicated the nationality of the company or individual concerned..."(including) Brazil, South Korea, Channel Islands and Luxembourg." Bumped top back corner, glossy film on dust jacket is lifting at bottom spine and there is some light shelf wear to dust jacket.
