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.
