| Description: |
Between 1903, when man first took to the skies in powered aircraft, to 1982 when a scheduled airliner landed automatically in dense fog, this is an account of how aviators have overcome the problems of navigation in such difficult conditions as fog, low cloud, darkness and storms. |
| Synopsis: |
Between the years 1903, when man first took to the skies in a powered aeroplane, and 1982, when a scheduled airliner landed automatically in blind conditions of dense fog, the problem of all-weather, anytime flying was solved. This is the story of the evolution of instruments, radar, radio communications, fly by wire system, and much more. A fascinating read for all aviation enthusiasts. |
