Books in Here, There, series

The "Then and There" series provides pupils with the opportunity to experience history and consider what it might have been like to stand in other people's shoes. Each book is fully illustrated, contains a "Things To Do" section to stimulate classroom discussion and understanding, and uses a narrative soundly based on historical evidence. This book in the series examines the history and development of aviation, from the first pioneers to the jet age and space travel, and compares aircraft used for transportation, leisure and war.
