About

A history of aviation’s first seventy years, tracing the transformation of powered flight from fragile pioneer machines to the sophisticated aircraft of the postwar era.

Beginning with the Wright brothers and early European experimenters, then moving through the rapid pre 1914 advances, the technological acceleration of World War I.

Then follows aviation into the age of mass air transport and high performance military aircraft, highlighting the breakthroughs that defined each decade - streamlining, all metal construction, supercharged engines, radar, jets, and pressurized cabins.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images including end papers.
