Aircraft Building: a Brazilian Heritage
São Paulo, Embraer, 2008. In English. A wide 31 x 24 book with 311 pp. Hardcover, illustrated blue boards, title written in blue on the soft silver spine. Printed on couché paper. Contents listed at the beginning of the book, with a foreword of Maurício Novis Botelho, then chairman of the Board of Directors of Embraer. Lavishly illustrated throughout. Text written in two or three columns per page. This is THE reference book about Brazilian aircraft making. From Santos-Dumont's experiments in France and Brazil to Embraer's global successes in the 2000s, Aircraft Building describes it in painstaking detail while outlaying an engaging account.
Quite a rare book outside of Brazil despite having been written in English.
