Join Barry Schiff on an amazing journey across time and space as he flies and
brings home reports on some of aviation's most rare and popular aircraft. Dream
Aircraft documents his lifelong
voyage flying aircraft that pilots and aviation enthusiasts dream of flying.
Some of these aircraft are so rare that most pilots have never even seen one,
let alone had a chance to fly them.
Each chapter is dedicated to a different aircraft as the author describes the
unique aspects and performance characteristics: exactly how it feels to be
behind the control wheel (or stick, as it may be). The book is dripping with
detail and gorgeous images that will immerse the reader in an experience like no
other. From the nostalgia of the Spirit
of St. Louis, to the popular WWII fighter P-51 Mustang, to the exciting
Lockheed U-2, this book is the whoï¾’s who and how-to on some of the most
remarkable aircraft ever developed.
