Do you remember that warm feeling in your heart the last time you watched a rumbling old biplane pass, ever-so-slowly, overhead? Or witnessed a low-flying taildragger out frolicking above the fields and trees? Sights that made you feel as if someone up there was truly enjoying his or her life to the fullest? These great antique and classic aircraft embody the true adventures of aviation. They represent the trainers, the barnstormers, the mail planes, and the aerobats. They were the airplanes that some of today's great aviation pacesetters first gazed upon with wonder. They were responsible for bringing a large planet together and they made it possible to see the whole world from a different point of view. These are exceptional aircraft and it takes a particular type of person to appreciatate them. No library descriptions found. |

The adventure of flight in gorgeous color photos including special antique airplanes that have been restored by people who fly for the sheer enjoyment of it. All featured aircraft were built before 1955 and were powered by reciprocating engines. not a history but a chronological tribute to these planes.
