Observer's BASIC Book of Aircraft illustrates
and describes all the most important air-
liners, executive transports. feederliners,
agricultural and utility aircraft. sports and
touring light planes. and commercial heli'
{ropters. For the first time in a book of this
size comparison silhouette drawings are
provided to enable differing versions of one
basic aircraft design to be readily compared'
and in addition to well over 400 individual
drawings and 135 photographs. this volume
offers a tremendous wealth of information
concerning the characteristics and history
of each type and, in the case of airliners,
lists the principal operators currently

An indispensible companion to this
volume is The Observer's BASIC Book of
Aircraft devoted to military aircraft which
illustrates and describes the vast majority
' of the aircraft serving with the world's air
forces and naval air arms. from attack
bombers to assault transports; from strike
f ighters to support helicopters" Uniform

Supplcmenting the annual Obseraer's Book of Airtaft,
rvhich, each year, surveys the newest aircraft and the
lutcst variants of existing aircraft types that have
appcared in the preceding twelve months or are ex-
pcitcd to appear during the currency of the edition,
'I'\rc Obseroer's BASIC Booh of Aircraft is intended to
provide a compact reference source to the most im-
portant and most widely-used aircraft, irrespective of
thcir age. Thus, on the pages that follow will be
found iuch veterans of the air routes as Douglas's
DC-3 and DC-4, the Curtiss C-46, the Bristol Type
r7o and the Ilyushin I1-14, these contrasting sharply
with the latest generation of long-haul transports
represented by BAC's Super VCro and the lll'ushin
t,t ilt(Atty ( )tr ('( )N( ;R t :ss ( :A't'Al,oG CAlu) NO. 66-15687 Il-62 and, further down the range and size scales, the
Douglas DC-9 and Tupolev Tu-r34. The ever-
increasing importance of business aviation is reflected
by the wide variety of aircraft designed primarily for
the executive transport role portrayed in this volume,
whilc the equally rapid growth in importance of agri-
cultural aviation may be seen from the fact that,
whereas a few short years ago agricultural tasks were
pcrformed by adaptations of existing aircraft, there are
now many aeroplanes in widespread service and in
quantity production designed from the outset solely
fbr the dispersal of chemical dusts and sprays' the
principal examples of such specialised machines being
illustrated and described.
As may be expected, it is in the sphere of light sport-
ing and touring aircraft that the greatest variety exists
today. Indeed, so many different types of light air-
craft are to be seen in the world's skies that it would

cross section of the world's light planes; representative
in numerical importance, nationality and type. The
light planes selected range from ultra light single-

Variants: Evolved from the Model 88o (see pages 34-5)
to meet the specific requirements of American Airlines,
the Model 99o was originally identified as the Model
6oo. Early in the flight trials the first aircraft was
found to suffer oscillation in the outer engine pods at
certain combinations ofairspecd and manceuvre, neces-
sitating major modifications. Further trials revealed
unexpectedly high airframe drag which prevented
guaranteed speed and range figures being achieved.
All aircraft were subsequently further modified and
redesignated Model 99oA. Model 99oA Coronado-

Variants : Possessing the distinction of having been the
first airliner to attain commercial service, the Tu-rz4 is
essentially a scaled-down Tu-ro4 (see pages 58-9).
Its relatively high thrust-weight ratio combined with
a high lift wing system enables the Tu-rz4 to operate
from fields previously served only by airscrew-
driven aircraft, a special flap located beneath the
fuselage being deflected to increase the approach
angle for difficult airfields. A braking parachute is
provided mainly to provide additional braking in the

Variants: Designed to operate from fields no larger
than those used by piston-engined Aero Commanders,
the Jet Commander has no component commonality
with earlier executive transports in the Aero Com-
mander range. After completing the initial stages of
flight testing, the first prototype was modified to pro-
duction configuration by the insertion of an additional
section in the forward fuselage, increasing overall
length from 48 ft. 5 in. to 5o ft. 5 in. At the same
time maximum take-off weight and useful load were
increased. In July ry66, t};'e FAA certificated the
Jet Commander for operation at an altitude of 45,ooo
ft., the maximum altitude at which any civil jet air-
craft is permitted to operate. A variety of optional

being supplanted by CFToo turbofans. Changes intro-
duced in the production model included increases in
both wing span and fuselage length, and with the 4oth
production example in mid-r966, the radio antenna
was suppressed and the wingtips were extended
sliehtly, ma.ximum permissible speed above z3,5oo ft.

History: AirCoupe is current production version of the
Erco 3ro first flown in Oct. rg37 and placed in pro-
duction in r94o as the Erco 415-C Ercoupe. Produc-
tion was resumed after World War II, the Models
4r5-E and 4rS-F appearing in 1947, followed by the
4r5-G Club-Air in 1949, but production was dis-
continued in r95r only to be resumed in 1955 by
Fornaire Aircraft which manufactured the aircraft as
the F-r AirCoupe. In 196o, production was taken
over by Air Products, this concern manufacturing the
aircraft until 1962 as the Aircoupe F-rA (a re-worked
version of this later being marketed as the Air-Coupe
4r5-D Club Trainer). In 1963, Alon Incorporated
was established, and this concern has since produced
the aircraft as the A-z AirCoupe, the first Alon-built
example flying on Oct. 24, 1964, production deliveries
following in Jan. r965.

Variants: The Aztec was originally evolved as a more
powerful, five-seat version of the four-seat PA-23-r6o
Apache (see pages z4o-t), employing the proven
systems and many of the components of the earlier
model. Externally, the Aztec was distinguished from
the Apache by its extended cabin glazing and more
angular vertical tail surfaces, but these features were Aztec I
later to be adopted for the PA-23-235 version of the
Apache rvhich thus became, externally, hardly dis-
tinguishable from the initial model Aztec. Twenty of
