More than 7,400 terms and 2,400 illustrations that define and illuminate aviation today! More than a dictionary, though it certainly offers all a dictionary can, this magnificent illustrated reference work will be the centerpiece and foundation of many aviation collections. Seven years in the making, the carefully wrought handiwork of a military air leader and a dedicated writer, Illustrated Dictionary of Aviation is virtually a visual mini-encyclopedia of aviation and all its aspects. Spanning general aviation, commercial airline operations, the military sector, and everything else aviation from airports to meteorology to aviation medicine to modern GPS and instrumentation terminology, this thoroughly browsable Illustrated Dictionary of Aviation is as much a learning tool as a dictionary and an almost bottomless source of information and diversion. It is a treasure that anyone involved or interested in aviation will be thrilled to own.
