ISBN10: 0354011197, ISBN13: 9780354011198, [publisher: Macdonald and Jane's, Shepherdess Walk, London -] Hardcover hardcover, 6¼" x 10½", with dust jacket 192 pages Many of the sailplanes described in this book are world record holders - with excellence being measured by speed over a given distance, absolute altitude reached or goal flight achieved. Not all gliding is competitive; many people fly simply for the pleasure of it their aircraft tend to be less aerodynamically advanced and usually more spartan in their equipment - these gliders form the bulk of the 170 types described here. Each listed entry has a short description, a table of data, a three-view drawing and a photograph. Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers and barcode. GOOD book in GOOD price-clipped dust jacket
