Nostalgic look at the Golden Age of personal flight, when incredible aircraft of the 1920s, ‘30s, and ‘40s were pushing every known limit, and doing it with flair. The impeccable style and ever-increasing performance of stunning open-cockpit and cabin-class monoplanes and biplanes such as the Curtiss Jenny, Beech Staggerwing, Stinson Reliant, Luscombe Phantom, and Spartan Executive are all captured here. Also includes Stearman, Taylor, Piper, Lockheed and Waco. A detailed text traces the evolution of the airplanes. Exceptional collection showcases rare, vintage private airplanes through modern color photography (air-to-air) of restored aircraft.
