Illustrated :

                - 66 pages of drawings and photographs (the legends, either in French or in English, can be used to learn vocabulary in a more attractive way - see section "How to use it").

                - More than 60,000 words and expressions translated and explained whenever a risk of misunderstanding might arise.

- 533 pages of Translations and Illustrations.

- More than 22,000 entries.

- More than 1,500 abbreviations and acronyms, fully developped and translated.

- 2 indexes, one in English and one in French, to help find quickly all the possible translations of a term and the precise field it belongs to.

Under the aegis of unquestioned specialists, such as :

- French, English and American fighter pilots and airline pilots

- Leader of the prestigious Patrouille de France

- European Aerobatics champion
- Engineers specialized in the various fields of aeronautics

Please note :
I would like to insist that - in spite of the wide range of terms and expressions included - this dictionary does not claim to be exhaustive or final. I would therefore gratefully welcome any suggestions for the improvement and / or enlargement of the further editions.
