About this book
Dust jacket notes: "Innovators risk takers visionaries the three Schweizer brothers came on the stage of aviation history with a home-built glider they sent skyward in 1930. Of all the aircraft none had greater appeal than the Ag-CAt a tough all-business biplane. Though it looked like something the Red Baron might fly it was as practical as a Jeep or a John Deere tractor. Its job: to apply from the air agricultural chemicals fertilizer and seeds. And it played a big part in the revolution of farming that began after World War II. With this book Bill Schweizer puts you in the cockpit dodging power lines skimming down at stump level in the ever-adaptable Ag-Cat - one rugged appealing and significant biplane that keeps on revving along earning its keep." Authors note: "Because throughout the world enthusiastic modelers build and fly scale versions of popular production aircraft plans of Ag-Cat models in three views with actual dimensions have been included in the appendix."
