Flight (Hardcover)

From early gliders to jet airliners and spaceflight, this DK hardcover follows how flight moved from experiment to routine within a single century. The 456 page volume is organised chronologically and leans on photography, cutaway artwork and technical annotation, so aircraft can be compared by role and by the engineering problem each was built to solve. Alongside the machines it covers the people, the manufacturers and the shifts in wartime and commercial demand that drove design forward. As a reference it is easy to use selectively, since individual aircraft and periods are given their own clearly marked treatment. The shape of the book: • Hardcover, 456 pages, DK • Chronological coverage from early flight onward • Cutaway artwork and annotated photography • Aircraft grouped so types can be compared directly Well suited to aviation enthusiasts, modellers and history readers building a reference shelf, published by DK and available at Boipoka.
