Volume 1 - 1st printing. "X-Planes - Research Aircraft 1891-1970!" Written by Hugh W. Cowin. The development of aviation inevitably included not only moments of genius but also blind alleys - some of them deadly. The excitement of manned flight was bound to attract the photographer, exponent of another science still in it's infancy. This collection of photographs, many never before published in book form focuses upon the failures as well as the breakthroughs and as such will delight the aviation enthusiast with its breadth of reference. Softcover, 98 pages, Text (with B&W photos).
