SLINGSBY SAILPLANES A Comprehensive History of all Designs. Martin Simons This book describes every Slingsby sailplane and glider from the British Falcon of 1931 to the last motorless aircraft produced - the Vega. Each type is illustrated with an accurate full page three-view drawing, with photographs and text outlining the background to the design. The drawings are based on the original workshop plans. Slingsby was for fifty years the main, and for most of the time only, producer of gliders and sailplanes in Britain. |
