Aircraft: The Definitive Visual History Review: Beautiful book, amazing presentations - I love this book! I bought it for my dad who spent years saving up for a little airplane and two years learning how to use it! He absolutely is a skilled aviator and is so hard to find gifts for. The guy has way too much stuff (LOL) so for his 80th birthday I was agonizing over what to give him that would truly mean something and capture his interest. This book is just so gorgeous. It’s beautifully bound. The size and quality make it a keepsake and the design would make anyone want to take a look inside. It has the coolest photos that just make it a lovely book to enjoy by anyone (I hate flying and. Have no interest in airplanes) but I couldn’t stop myself from looking through the pages and buying my own copy. Lovely coffee table book, too pretty to keep on a shelf hidden from views. Looks awesome layered with other books and even better having the pages open to catch the eye. It’s made by Smithsonian (not sure I spelled it right ) is clearly well crafted and very worth the price. It’s also timeless and actually extremely informative for all but people who love airplanes and all to do with flying will be amazed by this as a gift. I am so excited to give it to my dad at his 80th party and I am really glad I spent the extra money (it’s pricey, but you can find used editions in perfect condition like i did.) so if your looking for a gift that will stand the test of time and will always be cool (it’s very historical yet seems timeless) GET IT!! Review: Great buy - Great quality. A lot of information. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #801,890 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Aviation Pictorials #4 in Military Aviation History (Books) #5 in Aviation History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,322) | | Dimensions | 9.69 x 1.05 x 11.31 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 1465402128 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1465402127 | | Item Weight | 3.81 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 320 pages | | Publication date | May 20, 2013 | | Publisher | DK | ## Images ![Aircraft: The Definitive Visual History - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81jbNZ4QqIL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful book, amazing presentations *by A***R on April 11, 2023* I love this book!

A lot of information. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to read, well-structured. All ages, great for enthusiasts. *by E***V on November 29, 2025* I got this on sale as a way to motivate my passion for Aircraft while studying again. The book is excellent, it is hardcover, and the quality is just premium. All pictures are in excellent quality. The whole book is structured in a way that visual and text explanations come together to exemplify the history of aviation as a summary. An easy book to read, and to keep somebody motivated in aviation. An excellent gift to any aviation enthusiast, an excellent gift for students, and an excellent gift even for kids who are interested in the subject, as a way to motivate their curiosity for the wonders of aviation.
