American Military Training Aircraft: Fixed and Rotary-Wing Trainers Since 1916
ISBN: 9780786470945 / Angielski / Miękka / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The U.S. did not become the world's foremost military air power by accident.

Working in their spare time (because they couldn't initially get official permission), Dale Reed and his team of engineers demonstrated the potential of the design that led to the Space Shuttle. Wingless Flight takes us behind the scenes with just the right blend of technical information and fascinating detail (the crash of M2-F2 found new life as the opening...
