Quote:Aviation is one of the most competitive industries in history.Some canceled aircraft programs still arouse strong feelings among those serving at the time as well as those who worked in the aerospace industry. Sometimes projects were canceled despite showing great promise. All of these make it interesting to look back on history.

For every military aircraft that makes it into service, a thousand projects only live on as tattered blueprints in filing cabinets, artworks or sit silently as lonely prototypes in museums.Aircraft manufacturers have produced some magnificent planes throughout aviation's history, and while many have ruled the skies, some have barely left the ground.In fact, there have been a number of fascinating aviation projects that were canceled for political, financial and technical reasons. On some occasions, designers just came up against the inexorable march of technological advancement, having built the wrong plane for the times.In this book we present plenty of abandoned projects,prototypes and designs that some of them could change the route of Aviation history as we know it today.The book comes full of B&W,colour photos and schematics, a must have for your library.
