ABOUT THIS BOOK

Supplcmenting the annual Obseraer's Book of Airtaft,rvhich, each year, surveys the newest aircraft and thelutcst variants of existing aircraft types that haveappcared in the preceding twelve months or are ex-pcitcd to appear during the currency of the edition,'I'\rc Obseroer's BASIC Booh of Aircraft is intended toprovide a compact reference source to the most im-portant and most widely-used aircraft, irrespective ofthcir age. Thus, on the pages that follow will befound iuch veterans of the air routes as Douglas'sDC-3 and DC-4, the Curtiss C-46, the Bristol Typer7o and the Ilyushin I1-14, these contrasting sharplywith the latest generation of long-haul transportsrepresented by BAC's Super VCro and the lll'ushinIl-62 and, further down the range and size scales, theDouglas DC-9 and Tupolev Tu-r34. The ever-increasing importance of business aviation is reflectedby the wide variety of aircraft designed primarily forthe executive transport role portrayed in this volume,whilc the equally rapid growth in importance of agri-cultural aviation may be seen from the fact that,whereas a few short years ago agricultural tasks werepcrformed by adaptations of existing aircraft, there arenow many aeroplanes in widespread service and inquantity production designed from the outset solelyfbr the dispersal of chemical dusts and sprays' theprincipal examples of such specialised machines beingillustrated and described.

As may be expected, it is in the sphere of light sport-ing and touring aircraft that the greatest variety existstoday. Indeed, so many different types of light air-craft are to be seen in the world's skies that it wouldbc possible to fill three volumes the size of. The Ob-serier's BASIC Book of Aircraft with these alone.Thus, it has been necessary to be selective in the choiceof sporting and touring aircraft included in the follow-ing pages, the aim being to provide a representativecross section of the world's light planes; representativein numerical importance, nationality and type. Thelight planes selected range from ultra light single-seiteri, and t'?ical two-seat club trainers to expensive,

Early in the flight trials the first aircraft wasfound to suffer oscillation in the outer engine pods atcertain combinations ofairspecd and manceuvre, neces-sitating major modifications. Further trials revealedunexpectedly high airframe drag which preventedguaranteed speed and range figures being achieved.All aircraft were subsequently further modified andredesignated Model 99oA.
