Flight is a visual historical account charting the rise of aircraft from the very first airplanes through to the high-powered jets and rockets of the present day, and those craft still in development. Much more than a collection of different models through the ages, Flight offers a fascinating insight into the ways in which these machines have made such a profound impact upon the modern world.
