Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
The history of American general aviation: its glory days, decline, and
rebirth. General aviation is the biggest sector of the aerospace
industry in terms of sheer numbers. But even with more planes,
airfields, pilots, and flying hours than the military and commercial
sectors combined, it's a part of the industry that's also the least
understood. All along, it has been waiting for its own history to be
written. Here is that history: the first ever devoted to the general
aviation business. From the wild and tumultuous beginnings in the
wood-and-canvas biplane days, to today's resurgence and the exciting
emergence of the ultralight market, author Donald Pattilo covers it
all, without fear or favor. Follow the growth of this entrepreneurial,
fiercely competitive business, and gain insight into the decisions
behind the manufacture of some of the most famous aircraft ever built.
All the major developments in design and engineering are also covered,
including: agricultural aircraft; turbine power; business jets;
helicopters; wartime aircraft; light civilian aircraft. A History in
the Making also delves into the product liability crisis that put the
indsustry into a tailspin, and other problems plaguing aviation.
Finally, Pattillo forecasts the future, and reveals the promising new
developments that can lead the business back to the road of
prosperity.
