Trade paperback. ix, [1], 106, [4] pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Map. Bibliography. Index.

This book presents the history of aviation up to the end of World War 1. All the important early aeroplanes are examined in this book which contains a representative selection of civil and military aircraft. Some are present because they have become landmarks of aviation history or exhibit a particular technical development, others because of the immortal feats they performed. Each machine is carefully described and is supported by detailed illustrations, consisting of a three-dimensional color drawing to show the markings and bring out any salient design and structural features, while two or three line diagram views give an idea of the dimensions, and comparative proportions of each airplane. Paolo Matricardi is an aviation journalist who works in Rome. He has written many books on aviation that have been translated into other languages. He has collaborated often with Enzo Angelucci. More
