{detailed description}This is the first volume in a series which will be an outstanding reference work of permanent value. You will find this an exceptionally complete record of each A.T.C. airplane. An uncomparable undertaking, authenticated by years of research! Can truly be called....
"The family tree of the A.T.C."
The "Approved Type Certificate" is a stamp of approval by the Department of Commerce, and is a charter for the birth of commercial aircraft.
To place this vast amount of information in proper perspective and in logical sequence, this first volume starts with ATC #1, the Buhl-Verville "Airster" of 1927, ending with ATC #100 "Travel Air" of 1929. The series shows a cross-section of the scope of activity in the aircraft industry thru all the years, and its pattern of evolution towards the airplanes of today.
Here the author has given us a story within a story. A factual account of each plane ever given an ATC number is included, along with history, production data, performance, specifications, details, technical data. Volume One has 255 pages and many of the 316 photographs are printed here for the first time. Human interest is woven throughout this mighty story of successes and failures, as obscure facts and information bring to light the beginnings of many of the men who are today's "giants" in the aircraft industry.
