Classic airplanes / Walter J. Boyne.
Men and women have looked to the skies and dreamt of flight since prehistory, but it was not until 1903 that powered, sustained flight become a reality. Today, aviation technology encompasses a myriad of disciplines, from aerodynamics to weapons systems. And then there are the numberless human factors: the creative urge, political and military dominance, national pride, and the economic gambles of the enormous corporations that manufacture combat and civil aircraft. Above all else, though, is that dream of flight - a dream that has only become more urgent over the millennia. Classic Airplanes is a picture-packed, insider's tribute to nearly 60 of the greatest of the great, from the '03 Wright Flyer to the B-2 Spirit of the 21st century. It's a thrilling ride, and the view is magnificent
