Book Overview

Words that kept aircraft aloft. Essential for pilots and enthusiasts. Precise and plain in equal measure, this aviation terminology glossary pairs English and French entries to render the vocabulary of flight accessible across language and discipline. As an english-french dictionary of aircraft technical terms it lists the names, functions and routine phrases that connected cockpit, ground crew and engineer; as a pilot vocabulary guide it collects the concise expressions and aviation communication phrases that matter during training and operations. Practical enough to serve as a flight training companion, scholarly enough to inform research, it has long been used as a student pilot resource and valued as an aviation professionals handbook. The clear layout and uncompromisingly useful tone make it a natural bilingual aviation reference for translators, historians and anyone curious about the mechanics of flight. Its voice is practical, sometimes wry, and always focused on usefulness; entries favour clarity over flourish, which makes it especially approachable for non-specialists encountering technical vocabulary for the first time. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Rooted in early 20th century aviation practice, the glossary is an authoritative snapshot of the international aviation language in formation - the practical vocabulary that underpinned early flight and later standardisation. For casual readers it offers a tactile window into how pilots, mechanics and instructors described machines and manoeuvres; for classic-literature collectors and libraries it is a desirable addition to any aviation study collection, a technical artefact that illuminates social as well as mechanical history. Compact, dependable and humane in tone, it continues to bridge eras: a flight training companion for modern learners and an indispensable reference for students, historians and aviation professionals revisiting the roots of their jargon. Easy to dip into yet rewarding to read, it suits targeted consultation as much as leisurely browsing and conversation among enthusiasts.
