This was a purchase inspired by another forum member post a few months ago.
An enjoyable book illustrated with multiple Taylor projects, including a few other roadable concepts, and covers a period of his design career at the NAF in Philadelphia. It was interesting so see that he was associated with the TDR-1 and the Glomb while assigned to the NAF.
Moving into the Aerocar, the technical development side gets less print than some might like, but is fairly well covered.
That particular shortcoming is more than made up for by inclusions of sidebar texts covering a pilot report, interest by the Ford Motor Company and from the perspective of a prospective dealer.
All iterations and design variations of the Aerocar are covered up to and including the Aerobus and the turbine powered Honda CRX. While briefly covered, any characteristics or specifications of the Model II are missing, and while not a flying car in itself represented the closest step to production achieved by any Taylor aircraft.
Also included was a brief chapter on other flying car concepts with Piasecki concepts getting a fair amount of print. Surprisingly the Gwinn Aircar and its development the Convair 111 are missing from this chapter.
Anyone with some Experimental Aircraft Association background will appreciate the coverage of the Coot and the IMP series of airplanes as well.
Overall this is a solid text on the Aerocar that has very few faults and is an enjoyable read. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in roadable aircraft, the postwar golden age of light aircraft, or amateur built homebuilt aircraft.
