All these questions and many more are answered in this gorgeously illustrated history of planes and flight.

Readers will then learn about aerodynamics, the mechanics of wing shape and lift, and how ailerons, propellers, and flaps work.

Albatros nakladatelstvi as Means of Transport That Almost Changed the World
Book SynopsisRealistic illustrations accompany the stories behind various more or less peculiar vehicles that were invented but in the end, they did not make the cut.We all travel sometimes—by car, by public transport, or by plane. But there are some means of transport that we will never be able to use. Let’s open this book and learn how come we don’t travel in flying cars, why trains don’t ride on a single rail, or why there are no life-size remote control cars.You’re about to be flooded with infamous ideas, prototypes, and crazy attempts at coming up with something new over the course of the last century. The means of transport presented in this book may have not led to a technological revolution but did help us progress. After all, people learn from their mistakes.Trade ReviewSelected for the CBC’s 2023 July Hot Off The Press Reading List (https://www.cbcbooks.org/cbc-book-lists/july-2023/)."Grades 5-8 This upbeat, obviously well-researched work takes an unusual stance: what's interesting in transportation is what didn't make it--the "average, forgotten, useless, expensive, or insignificant." Vehicles are profiled in depth, including details of what inspired their creation, the history of their design, and why they failed. Well-written, engaging narratives are complemented by detailed drawings that show even small details--no surprise, as illustrator Sodomka is a former design engineer. Examples of the fascinating vehicles include the 1924 Junkers J100, a huge plane that could carry passengers in style for up to 10 hours, but didn't inspire traveler interest; the Hafner Rotabuggy, a flying jeep made for the British Air Force in WWII that took too long to work; and the Conair XFY Pogo, a Cold War plane that could take off and land vertically, but that was too uncomfortable. On show here, besides fascinating, scary, complex machines, is the ingenuity of inventors, the ways social conditions--especially conflict--set invention trends, and how failure can precede success. Though it lacks source notes, this marvelous book is ideal for browsing." —Booklist"Captivating illustrations really bring these inventions to life, often making readers wish the real versions could be glimpsed working in the real world. For example, a moving walkway, part of the Paris Exposition in the World’s Fair, would have allowed visitors to tour the city while standing still. But it didn’t come without detractors, people were afraid of the moving belt so it didn’t last. But as we know, these days they can be found in department stores and airports in smaller versions." —Vicky Tandy, Athol Public Library"This was an interesting book filled with the history of transportation. There are examples of experimental transporters from 1900 on. The examples cover cars, planes, and boats. The information covers some of the development and why the transport failed to create an impact. The authors also explain, when relevant, the historical context. There are illustrations of the transport and cross sections when needed. This is a good book for anyone who is interested in history or the various forms of transport. I enjoyed the book for the history that was included." —Morgan Frazier, Librarian"It seems like there is nothing new under the sun, especially if you have just had an Invention Convention project assigned to you, but this book shows definitely that there is no end to the number of weird and wonderful ways people have thought to improve the way that humans travel from place to place! Everything from an early Parisian moving walkway in 1900 (which we do see remnants of today!) to the 2005 Peugeot Moovie on the cover is examined and illustrated with lovely illustrations with a bit of a vintage vibe. There's just enough information about each vehicle's plusses and minuses that readers will be motivated to find out more about their favorites and maybe even design some vehicles of their own!" —Karen Yingling, YA Books CentralTable of ContentsIntroductionMoving WalkwayBrennan's MonorailRMS OlympicJunkers J1000Dornier Do XDynasphereSocovel 1942 Electric MotorcycleHafner RotabuggyModel 118 ConvaircarMoto MajorBristol BrabazonGM FirebirdConvair XFY PogoFlying Platform and The Rocket BeltFairey RotodyneAvro Canada VZ-9 AV AvrocarNS SavannahDodge DeoraM-497 Turbojet TrainEma 1Boeing vs ConcordeMercedes-Benz ESF 05The Dale CarCitroën KarinFolding ScooterLun-Class EkranoplanKineo 27NASA X-38Peugeot Moovie

Book Synopsis“The text in the book is quite accessible for the elementary student and yet will appeal to an older audience as well... For use in school and public libraries as well as in personal collections.” —Resource Links. There is no limit to our appetite for the Titanic. The ship’s demise more than 100 years ago still invites curiosity, fascination and conjecture. This is a meticulously reconstructed adventure of the legendary disaster. Author Jim Pipe assumes the role of one of the many journalists that covered the maiden voyage. He describes the facts: the financiers and builders, the shipyard, the layout and state-of-the-art technology, the passengers, the appointments, staterooms, dining rooms and more, and also the “hidden” spaces used by the lower-class passengers and the crew.... And of course, he conveys the public astonishment at this new “wonder of the world,” the biggest ship ever, and unsinkable! The narrator’s imaginary account is combined with period photographs, illustrations, tip-ins, booklets and other ephemera and eyewitness accounts of the sinking, including those by surviving children. He covers the aftermath of the tragedy and includes the reports and inquiries of the official investigation. The chapters are: Birth of the Titanic — with technical details; The Voyage Ahead — with guide to whales and seabirds; Boarding the Ship — with gatefold; Cabins Fit for a King — with “door” flaps; The Height of Luxury — with meal menu; Exploring the Ship — with playing cards; Full Steam Ahead! — with cutaway diagram; The Wireless Room — with secret message in envelope; The Iceberg Hits — with passenger diary; Abandon Ship!; The Rescue — with 1912 newspaper; Aftermath — with booklet showing sinking. From excitement to horror, Titanic is a richly detailed and dramatic experience for readers of all ages.Trade ReviewWell-reasoned, easy-to-follow training guide that is informative for both new and seasoned dog owners.
