Beech Aircraft and their Predecessors (Putnam Aviation Series)

Beech Aircraft and their Predecessors (Putnam Aviation Series) by Pelletier, Alain J.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781557500625.

In Beech Aircraft and their Predecessors Alain Pelletier gives detailed descriptions of the Models 17 and 18 and their service histories and continues with equally detailed studies of Beech aircraft through the Bonanzas, Barons, Queen Airs and King Airs and all other types up to the elegant but unorthodox Starship and Model 1900 airliner. Projects are included as well as details of sub-contract work. Beech predecessors included Travel Air, once a famous name as a producer of outstanding aeroplanes, many of which contributed to the development of the early United States airlines. All the aircraft are fully illustrated, and detailed production lists complete this work.
