Endangered Civilzations [Collector's Edition]

2,400 illustrations illuminate every aspect of aviation

THE CORNERSTONE OF ANY AVIATION LIBRARY

More than a dictionary -- though it certainly offers all a dictionary can -- this magnificent illustrated reference work will be the centerpiece and foundation of many aviation collections. Seven years in the making, the carefully wrought handiwork of a military air leader and a dedicated writer, Illustrated Dictionary of Aviation is virtually a visual mini-encyclopedia of aviation and all its aspects.

ENCOMPASSING ALL OF AVIATION

Spanning general aviation, commercial airline operations, the military sector, and far more -- airports to meteorology, avionics, aviation medicine, and beyond -- this thoroughly browsable Illustrated Dictionary of Aviation is as much learning tool as dictionary and an almost bottomless source of information and diversion. It is a treasure that anyone involved in or interested in aviation will be thrilled to own.
