Stearman: A Pictorial HistoryAviation enthusiasts who long for a solid history of the American-made Stearman aircraft will be delighted with this new book, the first complete history of the Stearman company and its airplanes. A pioneering company that produced versatile and popular airplanes as the world of aviation came of age, Stearman still has a devoted, enthusiastic following. Stearman aircraft were known the world over in the pre-World War II days, when aviation feats were making the news almost daily. Stearmans were used as passenger and cargo planes, for crop-dusting and towing banners, and in many a daring aerobatic display, and as training planes for aircraft pilots in WWlI. |
