Take flight with this spectacular and informative guide to the fascinating world of aircraft.

Superb color photographs offer a unique exploration of the history of flight, as well as providing a close-up view of the many different kinds of aircraft in use today, from helicopters to hot-air balloons.

Find out what a Victorian steam-powered airplane looked like, what the first pilots wore, how wings provide lift, and what's inside a "black box". Discover how a plane lands and takes off, how a glider works, which plane could be carried on a car, what the buttons on a flight deck do, and much more.
