The Aeroplane Speaks: Illustrated Historical Guide To Airplanes – Enlarged Special Edition

Description:

Take a trip back to a bygone era when flying was new and airplanes were magical machines that challenged the skill and imagination of early pilots.

Packed with more than 80 detailed illustrations and 35 pages of period aircraft, H. Barber first published The Aeroplane Speaks in 1917 and it remains a thrilling and educational read well into the 21st-century. Learn about the joys of flight from a simpler time when pilot and machine worked together without the aid of computers to defy gravity and take to the skies. When the airplane speaks, aviators listen.

This enlarged retro reprint features larger pages, meticulously reproduced images, period type font, and a new cover design fit for display. This classic book is a joy for all readers and curious pilots interested in the dawn of aviation. Learn everything that there is to know about the early days of air combat and air travel from a contemporary voice and talented writer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bought this for my dad- he loved it!

S. · August 8, 2024

I gave this to my dad for his birthday. He's hard to shop for and loves all things airplanes. This was a great gift, he could not put it down and shared the book with his friends. If you are looking for a cool gift or read for someone who is a pilot or just loves planes- this book was a hit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Large format. Easy to read.

This is excellent for anyone interested in early flight.

The copywrite is 2020, but the book is simply a re-print of a 2016 corny, sophomoric explanation of aerodynamics and aircraft design as known at that time. The "illustrations" are mostly small, old line drawings, and one page of drawings of early aircraft show that Alberto Santos Dumont flew before the Wright Brothers. A total disappointment for me.

Gave this book to friend who builds from scratch and flies model planes. He loved the easy to read reprint, the many illustrations and especially dimensions of plane parts. I also enjoyed the history and illustrations and am not really interested in the subject matter. Highly recommended.
