  Duncan Crosbie's new book for children tells the story of man's attempts to fly. Starting from Leonardo da Vinci's drawings, to the Wright brothers' first successful flight - and onwards to the race to the moon with the Columbia Space Shuttle. Heavily illustrated throughout (including a spectacular pop-up of Alcock & Brown's flight) plus flaps, tabs and contemporary newspaper reports.
