The Book of Flight traces the story of the aviation pioneers, inventors and daring pilots who turned a dream into a reality. Based on the collections of the US National Air and Space Museum, this book attempts to bring to life milestones in flight history. This text is illustrated with more than 350 photographs to portray the development of aviation and space flight, and uses diagrams to explain concepts - such as jet propulsion and supersonic flight - and depict the workings of rockets and other devices.
