Complete Multilingual Dictionary of Aviation and Aeronautical Terminology: English, French, Spanish

Rating:
Summary: Good beginning for the emerging aeronautical professional.
Review: Henri Demaison's compilation of Spanish, French, and English aeronautical and aviation terminology appears to be about as complete as possible, albeit pricey. Modern as it is, however, it is limited to 13,000 words, all of which have the first letter capitalized, which may be confusing to the beginning language user (Are all the words proper nouns? No.).

The aeronautical professional will discover obvious omissions. As for terminology in this field, one would be better served (on the Spanish and English side) to utilize the 700,000 word resource of Lewis L. Sell "Espanol-Ingles Diccionario Tecnico". Sell's work, though dated, covers the gambit of the field.

For the beginner, I would recommend Demaison's "Complete Multilingual Dictionary of Aviation and Aeronautical Terminology." Its unique layout is easy to comprehend, and makes cross-lingual word-for-word comprehension simple.
