Aviation Monographs : Issue 5 Unorthhodox / Bizzare Aircrafts

The strangest flying machines. The 104 years of the history of engine flight is full of unorthodox constructions, weird airplanes, helicopters and all kinds of flying machines. These constructions exactly are described in the fifth book of “AviationMonographies”. The 100 pages with rich color photographic material cover all the efforts of Aviators and constructors to hunt the impossible: A performance beyond the usual, a record,an international success which would make them famous. From steam engines and chicken wings of 1894 to the flying car or airplane-car. Asymmetrical plans, mother vehicles, German prototypes and flying saucers of WWII to the aircrafts of verticaltakeoff/landing, with mixed engines and strange hybrid helicopters and selfrounds. The list would not be complete without the experimental X-planes and private initiatives like solar aircrafts and aircrafts of muscular power. A unique collection which should not be missed out.
