A Review of Current Developments in Agricultural Aviation
The Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, 1961The increasing importance of agricultural aviation can best be judged by a table setting out the area treated in the U.S.A., U.S.S.R., U.K. and other countries, which was compiled from recent publications. Fig. 1 shows how important a sector of aviation agricultural aviation has become.Like other aircraft operations, agricultural aviation is not ...
