Superb collection of scale drawings of WWI aircraft, engines and armaments. The drawings are the work of "master illustrators", including Wylam, Nye, Larsen and Karlstrom. Also features many examples of early aviation photography.
"For the scale modeler, this book is invaluable. For the historian, it's a collector's dream. For the aviation-minded, modeler or not, it's a fascinating collection of winged history."
"The time-scale of this book represents the period in history when aviation was born. There were no rules. In many cases pilots were self-taught and their airplanes were handmade creations of fabric, wood, and dreams."
