  Each title in the Eyewitness series is an account of the world around us. Illustrated with colour photographs of objects from the natural world, from specialist museums and from rare private collections, the series offers a fresh approach to the mysteries of nature, history, science, arts, crafts and pastimes. This study examines the machines that have enabled man to conquer gravity, tracing the development of the airplane from Da Vinci's ornithopter to the supersonic jets of today. The history of flight is accompanied by photographs.
