This book recreates the experiences of many distinguished aviators, using detailed diagrams and color illustrations, and the words of the pilots themselves, to capture the excitement of flight. Includes the F117A Lockheed Stealth Fighter and the Space Shuttle. Over 350 color and 100 black-and-white illustrations.
