Overview
Paul A. Schweizer and his brothers, Ernie and Bill, started to build and fly gliders in 1930 and formed the Schweizer Aircraft Corp. in 1939 to produce sailplanes.  Since then the company has produced over 2170 aeroplanes of 22 different types and has become the main source of gliders and sailplanes in the USA.  It is now (at the time of publication) the oldest family-owned aircraft company to have been in continuous operation in the USA.

This book tells the story of the Schweizer sailplanes and includes a chapter on each of the 22 glider types and variations that were built and flown by the company.  It describes how each type was developed, its purpose and gives the details of its construction, special features and how it flew.  Outstanding flights made by each type are also included.  Specification sheets give precise dimensional details and three-view drawings will assist all interested model builders.  Many rare and unique photographs have been borrowed from the company archives to illustrate this book.
