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.
