Sobre este artículo
New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1983. 141 pages including index. Center section of black and white photographs. From dust jacket: "...a history of inventiveness, courage and ingenuity. This book is the first complete chronicle of the attempts - successful and unsuccessful - of the fliers and their machines to better the air speed record, from the earliest officially-recognized flight speed of 26 mph to the modern record of 2,194 mph, set by an American spy plane whose design is even now a government secret. Incredible advances in engineering and piloting are encompassed in this record of a time frame that covers roughly three-quarters of a century." The author has been an official supervisor of speed and altitude record attempts for the National Aeronautic Association. In very good condition with some shelf wear to dust jacket and a bumped lower back corner.
