The flying machines that pushed the boundaries of aerospace development.

"Dick and Patterson have made unusually fine choices.... Reasonable affection for aircraft is shown throughout this attractive, literate volume. Recommended. General readers." --Choice

"The team's selections are defensible, and the illustrations, sidebars, pilot and aircraft profiles, and human-interest stories are all fresh, appealing, and insightful. Recommended for all aeronautical collections." --Library Journal

"A close-up survey of 50 of arguably the most remarkable and influential aircraft in aviation history.... Beautifully presented... this book will grace the coffee table of any aviation aficionado." --Airforce Magazine

In December of 2019, Vancouver-based airline Harbour Air took to the sky in a 1956 Havilland Beaver retrofitted to fly on battery power. Eschewing gasoline and easily able to fly commuter distances, this old new plane took the first steps of 21st-century flight. 50 Aircraft That Changed the World is about exactly this type of flight revolution. Written by the authors of the widely acclaimed Aviation Century series, it profiles 50 of history's most influential aircraft and their pilots and designers.

Now an aviation classic, the book has been reformatted to a smaller size but otherwise remains the same. It begins with the 1905 Wright Flyer III, and moves on to the birth of aerial warfare in World War I, the trailblazers of the interwar years, classic World War II aircraft, the jets of the Korean and Vietnam wars, modern commercial carriers, private jets, experimental designs and new combat fighters featuring stealth technology.

    First time buyer and I love it
    Vibrant Colors and Smooth Printing – Great Sublimation Ink! I’ve been using Hippo Sublimation Ink for a few months now, and I’m really impressed with the quality and performance. I paired it with my converted Epson EcoTank printer, and the setup was super easy. The bottles are clearly labeled, and the no-mess nozzle design makes refilling a breeze. The color output is excellent—bright, bold, and true to what I see on my screen. Reds are vibrant, blacks are deep, and everything prints consistently without streaks or blotching. I’ve used this ink for sublimating on a variety of blanks like mugs, shirts, keychains, and tumblers, and every item has turned out beautifully. Overall, Hippo has become my go-to sublimation ink. Great quality, reliable performance, and affordable for the results you get. Highly recommend it for hobbyists and small business

    Great sublimation ink at a great price. Works great in my ET-8550.
    I use this Hiipoo sublimation ink with my ET‑8550 for shirts, tumblers, and ceramic mugs, and it’s been great across all of them. The colors come out vibrant and consistent, and the ink flows well through the printer. Getting the color profile dialed in can be a little tricky, but that’s pretty much par for the course with any sublimation setup. Once everything is calibrated, the results look fantastic. For the price, it’s an excellent value. Plenty of ink, reliable performance, and great results on a wide range of blanks. I’ll definitely keep buying it.
