X Planes : Research Aircraft 1891-1970: A Unique Pictorial Record of Flying Prototypes, their Designers and Pilots (Osprey Aviation Pioneers 1) - Softcover
Synopsis
The development of aviation inevitably included not only breakthrough moments of genius but also blind alleys, some of them deadly. Manned flight was bound to attract the attentions of the photographer, the exponent of a science which was itself in its infancy, and this collection of photographs collected from around the world, the majority of which have never been published, explores the failures as well as the triumphs. Sourced from Hugh Cowin's own 120,000-picture archive and from elsewhere, this book offers insights into aviation development in X-Planes unavailable anywhere else. The author's meticulous captioning provides the right degree of technological information - there will be something new even for the expert.
