Blue boards & endpapers foil titles on spine 160 pp many photos both color and b & w index. DJ in Brodart archival cover. Short well-illustrated articles about aviation's failures--airplanes that wouldn't fly or flew but disintegrated in midair or were not fit for their intended purpose e.g. the supersonic test bird that would only go up to Mach 0.98 or simply failed to find a market. There are the warplanes designed for specific service that didn't fly until the war was over passenger planes of impossibly grandiose conception and cases of technical or economic overreach--good ideas that just couldn't work with the technology or money available. I've tried to catalogue this book several times before and each time have ended up reading sections instead. Shipping weight 3 lbs. Reprint. . Fine/Fine. 31 X 24 cm. Dorset Press Hardcover

Sewn in mostly blue covers with white titles on spine x 693 pp hundreds of figures charts & tables bibliography index. Slight shelf wear a few pages dog-eared.

Appendices: basic thickness forms; mean lines; airfoil ordinates; aerodynamic characteristics of wing sections.
