An illustrated dictionary of aviation [electronic resource]
Kumar, Bharat2012
Book
Abstract: 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 min-encyclopedia of aviation and all its aspects.Spanning general aviation, commercial airline operations, the military sector, and far more- airports to meteorology, avionics, aviation medicine, and beyond this thoroughly browsable Illustrated Dictionary of Aviation is as much learning tool as dictionary and an almost bottomless source of information and diversion. It is a treasure that anyone involved in or interested in aviation will be thrilled to own.
