A sequel to "Antiques and Classic Airplanes", this book attempts to capture the charm of private and sport flying across five decades from "stick and string" pre-World War I aeroplanes to the sleek, high-performance monoplanes of the 1940s and 1950s. Amongst the gallery of civilian light aircraft featured in this book are all-time British favourites from the Havilland, Miles, Percival amd Blackburn stables and classic American designs from Cessna, Ryan, Boeing, Waco, Areonca, Great Lakes and many more. The book includes sporting, aerobatic, touring and record-breaking aircraft.
