This 191 page book chronicles the history of air machines like planes, jets, and dirigibles from 1783 to 1966 when this book was published. Today, in 2006, such strides have been made in aviation and aircraft technology that even Halacy would think his book was outdated. However, the painstaking effort the author took to research, describe, detail and even photograph the planes in his book warrants a second look. Here readers will find a passion about air transportation that is unparallelled in many books on the topic today. Though it's lacking recent material, aircraft enthusiasts and historians will appreciate this book, despite its age.
