Dust jacket condition: VG. First ed. Illustrated by TED GROHS. "Your automobile is a low-flying airplane. Let's take the car off the road and fly where flying is safe? in the wide blue yonder!" An impractical dream? So was flying, not so long ago . so was motoring. And now, says Daniel R. Zuck, "since the modern car has slavishly imitated the plane in everything except the wings, let's put wings on it and make it fully functional." This fascinating book is anything but visionary. The author, aviation engineer and inventor of the Plane-Mobile, gives you fact after fact about cars and planes as he describes the readable personal plane?"Model T of aviation"?which will land you on an airstrip, fold its wings, proceed through traffic, and take you right into your own garage. For Zuck believes the personal plane is destined to supplant the automobile, once air-traffic skyways and airstrip-adjacent highways are laid out and ready for use.

Sale & Shipping Terms

Terms of Sale

We guarantee the condition of every book as it's described on the Abebooks web sites. If you're dissatisfied with your purchase (Incorrect Book/Not as Described/Damaged) or if the order hasn't arrived, you're eligible for a refund within 30 days of the estimated delivery date.

Shipping Terms

We generally ship by the next business day. We want your order to reach you in the same condition it leaves our shelves -- so much so that we've created our own brand of shipping mailer. CorgiPack� mailers are constructed with a B-flute corrugated fiberboard pad providing solid edge and corner protection in transit, protection sadly lacking in cheap bubble mailers. And they're 100% recyclable -- just put them out with the household paper! International orders are shipped via AIR and should arrive in 7 to 10 days after shipping. Oversize items (e.g. sets containing 2 or more volumes, 4to, folios) and high cost items are sometimes subject to additional shipping charges; we will contact you for your approval if such is the case. Orders shipped outside of the United States may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees levied by the destination country. International shipments may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are levied once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and can't predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for more information. When customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates.
