Its unusual approach combines reference data, history and forecasts into one integrated, comprehensive and eminently readable volume. Twenty-eight chapters cover all aspects of aviation including those rarely found in general surveys, such as aerodynamics, air law and aerospace medicine. The traditional elements of the aviation story are also to be found here - the classic achievements of Cayley; Hargrave, Lilienthal and the Wright brothers; the formidable war machines; the civil airlines; and the pioneering, heroic flights of Alcock and Brown, Lindbergh, Earhart and others. Unique to this book is the care taken to explain the technical basis of aviation's achievements. Individual chapters explore engines, airframes and technology The encyclopedia does not stop at the present, but, based on sober assessments of recent developments, looks into the future to a time when B-1 bombers and Cruise Missiles might be the latest deterrents in America's arsenal and Space Shuttles might fly regular missions to space factories. Other important features of this book include biographies of great names in aviation; a chronology of historic dates; a glossary of technical terms; and a guide to aviation museums worldwide. Also Includes: Biographies of the Great names in Aviation, Chronology of Historic Dates, Glossary of Technical Terms, Guide to World's Rockets and Guided Missiles, Table of Manned Spoace Flights, International Guide to Aviation Museums, and Schneider Trophy Race Results.

"In 1799, one hundred years before the Wright Brothers' historic flights at Kitty Hawk, Sir George Cayley had engraved, on a silver disc about the size of a British shilling, both the design for an airplane and the earliest recorded description of the forces by which a wing can fly. Through his work, Cayley was the first to recognize the two opponent-paired forces of flight: weight and lift, thrust and drag. These discoveries culminated in the invention of the first practical airplanes. Cayley, his grandson John, and the ever supportive engineer Mr. Vick formed a team that would finally conquer the air. Aged seventy-five, Cayley and his little group developed a series of advanced models, and in 1849 they finally flew a full-sized glider with a crew consisting of a ten-year-old boy. Shortly before his eightieth birthday, Cayley would finally build the machine that launched the world's first heavier-than-air aviator. Within less than a generation of his death, Cayley's name would be virtually forgotten. The 'father of aviation' would remain unknown to all but a tiny group who followed his pioneering work. In this compelling account, Richard Dee tells the story of this remarkable man and his remarkable time. Dee's biography of Cayley allows him to combine his scientific and historical knowledge of aviation to produce an accessible and highly readable account of one of aviation's unsung heroes."
