Commercial aviation took shape in Hong Kong as the city developed into a powerful economy. In Hong Kong Takes Flight, John Wong argues that Hong Kong¿s development into a regional and global airline hub was not preordained and views the city¿s globalization through the prism of its airline industry.

Aviation Supplies & Academics, Inc. has been the industry's trusted source for official FAA publications for over 80 years. Look for the ASA wings to ensure you're purchasing the latest authentic FAA release.>A long-established U.S. Navy publication also used by the U.S. Air Force as well as by the FAA as a source reference for their own publications, for more than 50 years this textbook has been a definitive source that communicates the complexities of applied aerodynamics and aeronautical engineering for both the beginner and the experienced pilot. Flight safety and effectiveness depends greatly on the understanding and appreciation of how and why an airplane flies, and this resource teaches aerodynamic principles, providing the foundation for developing precise flying techniques and operational procedures. The information in Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators is applicable to flight training, transition training, reciprocating and turbine-powered airplanes, and general flying operations. It offers the elements of both theory and application, covering basic aerodynamics, high-speed aerodynamics, airplane performance, stability and control, operation strength limitations, and the application of aerodynamics to specific problems of flying, such as the region of reversed command, wind shear, effects of ice and frost, ground effect, and collision avoidance. Also included are an index and a list of selected references.

Buckle up and fly with Mike Ely and Linda Street-Ely to discover amazing people, interesting places, and the conquest of flight. Step aboard to enjoy a collection of stories that explore the vast realm of the flyer's world. (Vol. 2 of 2)

"For those with a passion for the iconic and revered F-14, I can highly recommend this volume. Buy a copy, you will not be disappointed. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd rate this book as a solid 10, no question about it." - Large Scale PlanesHalf Century, Baby! marks the 50th anniversary of the first two Grumman F-14A fleet squadrons (VF-1 and VF-2) receiving their first Tomcats during the summer of 1973. This lavishly illustrated volume tells the story of the aircraft from the beginning to its sunset of service with the US Navy in 2006; the longest operational career of any Naval Fighter to date. Preeminent Tomcat historian and former Tomcat RIO Dave Parsons explains the history of the F-14 decade by decade through the words of the aircrew who flew it. Artist Mads Bangsø brings his superlative illustration talents to the forefront with more than 120 F-14 profiles as well as highly accurate fully rendered recreations historical events featuring the Tomcat, highlighting the interesting markings of the aircraft (including helmets) as well as other aircraft associated with the Tomcat Community. The book features pertinent colour photography throughout, interwoven with the illustrations to complement the text.

"15 modeling projects for ebginner to expert modelers"--Cover.

A must have for any aviation enthusiast, this quiz book will cover all aspects of the military, commercial, general aviation and historic aerospace sectors.

De Havilland Canada has been designing and manufacturing aircraft for over 90 year. During this time, it has been responsible for the production of many remarkable commercial aircraft, including the Beaver (which is considered the ultimate bush plane, against which every other bush plane is measured), Otter, Twin Otter, Dash 7 and Dash 8.

In his second book about Canadian aviation, Peter Pigott examines the lives of several of these innovators.

These are the stories of early intrepid Canadian women bush pilots from the late 1940s onwards, who set new records of achievement in northern Canada.

Forty years ago, on 2 April 1982, Argentinian troops invaded the Falkland Islands, a UK territory in the South Atlantic Ocean. The resulting Falklands War lasted just 74 days and was an impressive demonstration of the British military's reach and adaptability.

Volume 2 of The Thinking Pilot's Flight Manual carries on the widely praise, penetrating, and clear-headed approach of Volume I, addressing matters of importance to pilots that ordinary flight training manuals never tough. It delves into everything from the realities of making the go/no-go decision during the takeoff roll, nailing spot landings, which emergencies to practice, and how to take babies and kids flying. It explores how we scare our passengers without realizing it, IFR training in IMC, and takes a hard look at spin training. Rick Durden is one of three 2015 recipients of the Endeavor Award, honoring volunteer pilots who have made significant contributions to flying to serve the public. For 25 years he has made flights in remote areas of the U.S. and Central America in support of conservation. He is an Airline Transport-rated pilot with experience in over 200 types of airplanes, a practicing aviation attorney who has been involved in hundreds of aircraft accident cases, writer, aviation magazine editor, safety counselor, and flight instructor.

In Fly by Wire, one of America's greatest journalists takes us on a "fascinating" (The New York Times) and sometimes humorous journey into the rapidly changing aviation industry. Langewiesche concisely and artfully renders forty years of history in the field by examining the financial problems, the unions, and ultimately the recent advances in technology. And he finds that aviation safety is field in which machine has now surpassed man, but man still manages to find ways -- hubris, ineptitude -- to cause accidents. Advances such as fly by wire suggest that in some cases it may prove best to cede authority to the machines, even if it means questioning our assumptions about human beings and heroism in the process.

Dirigible Balloons: Instruction Paper is a book written by Charles B. Hayward and published in 1912. The book is a comprehensive guide to the construction and operation of dirigible balloons, also known as airships. It provides detailed instructions on the design, construction, and maintenance of various types of dirigibles, including rigid and non-rigid airships.The book covers a wide range of topics related to dirigible balloons, including the principles of aerodynamics, gas and ballast systems, steering and control mechanisms, and safety procedures. It also includes detailed diagrams and illustrations to help readers understand the technical aspects of airship design and operation.The author, Charles B. Hayward, was an experienced aeronautical engineer and inventor who had worked on several pioneering airship projects. His expertise is evident in the detailed and technical nature of the book, which is intended for serious students of aeronautics and engineering.Overall, Dirigible Balloons: Instruction Paper is an important historical document that provides a fascinating glimpse into the early days of aviation and the development of airships.
