Discover the machinery and organisation behind air travel
Vintage Good Condition - Rubbed/creased dust jacket under a wrinkled clear cover, edge/corner wear and yellowed page edges. Latest copyright, 1978.
Edited by Donald Clarke, this How It Works book introduces the aircraft and airport systems that make flying possible. Explanations and cutaway illustrations show how components work together, encouraging readers to look beyond the outside appearance of a plane. The discussion connects the principles of flight with the equipment, navigation and organisation needed to operate aircraft and handle journeys on the ground. Material drawn from the How It Works publication gives the book a practical, explanatory focus rather than a simple list of machines. Aircraft and Airports offers an accessible historical reference for curious readers, showing how engineering and coordinated activity combine to support a world of air travel.
