Treasures of the National Air and Space Museum

Rating:
Summary: Better than one hundred rolls of film.
Review: "Treasures of the National Air and Space Museum" beautifully capture the best this vibrant museum has to offer. The 300 illustrations are an homage to aviation history: the famous aircraft, experimental vehicles and the obscure vessels. The illustrations include the Spirit of St. Louis, the Wright Flyer, Mercury and Apollo backup spacecraft, representative cutting edge aircraft for their time, and a host of other wonderful photographs.

The museum also owns an impressive collection of aviation-related art which this book also includes.

You can spend days in the actual museum and not get to see all it offers, but this book will give you a head start and an appreciation for the breadth of the museum's collection.
