Book excerpt: From the North American P-51 Mustang, to the "Spirit of St. Louis," and even NASA's Space Shuttle, this spectacular collection examines who's who and how-to on some of the most incredible aircraft ever developed. Focusing on the unique aspects and performance characteristics of one of 32 aircraft—including the Culver Cadet, Transavia Airtruk, Saab Safari, and DeHavilland Chipmunk—each chapter brings the planes to life by describing exactly how it feels to be behind the controls. Historical and personal anecdotes further illustrate how diverse the field of aviation is and how far it's come since the days of the Wright brothers.
