Sommario/riassunto |
|
General aviation encompasses all the ways aircraft are used beyond commercial and military flying: private flights, barnstormers, cropdusters, and more. Here, the authors have taken on the formidable task of discussing the hundredyear history of this diverse field by focusing on the most important figures in aviation, from Clyde Cessna to Paul Poberezny, as well as organizations and the major producers of aircraft and engines. |
