"Beautifully illustrated with more than 200 color technical drawings and more than 150 black-white drawings, The Lore of Flight is divided into four main sections. The topics covered are the historical background of flight; aircraft design and construction; systems, engines, and equipment; and flying today, a section that discusses all aspects of a typical transatlantic flight as well as the technicalities involved in flying a small aircraft." --
