Annotated Bibliography
Cleer, I. (1994). Powered flight. Columbus, OH: Ohio University Press.
This book is a brief history of the evolution of the airplane, beginning with the Wright
Brothers and continuing up to 1992. The author is a professor of aerospace engineering, which
gives him good credibility, and the book contains a substantial bibliography. Therefore, the
information is likely to be accurate, reliable and without bias. However, because there have been
many developments in powered flight in the last 20 years, this book may be of limited value
except to provide the groundwork for understanding the early development of aircraft. (88

Harrumph, H. H. (2011). Choosing the right plane: An economist’s perspective. Journal of
Applied Economics, 23, 124-142. doi: 14.3085722
The article details the author’s 15-year study of four different airlines, focusing on
decisions regarding the choices of types of aircraft and how these choices affected each airline’s
bottom line. This journal is peer reviewed; therefore, the information should be credible, reliable
and without bias. The publication date is relatively recent; therefore, the information is relatively
current. Also, an economist could provide a unique perspective on aircraft design, which is
usually considered only from the technical or human factors point of view. (82 words)
