Also describes the advances that have contributed to the changing environment of the pilot, and in due course the crew, relating them to selected aircraft types in peace and war.

Instruments, controls and systems are covered in detail and with the minimum of jargon.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images and drawings, including end papers.
