All About History: Book Of Flight (2016)

 

Manned heavier-than-air fl ight was undoubtedly one of the most important achievements of the 20th century, playing a crucial role in shaping the modern world that we know today. As tools for travel, aircraft have brought people together. As tools of war, they have all too frequently torn people apart. The story of fl ight is a global one. From Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the site of the fi rst fl ights by the Wright brothers, through to modern day Afghanistan and Iraq where aircraft have been at the forefront of confl ict, our journey takes us across every continent of the world, into the skies above deserts, oceans and beyond, in times of peace and war. As much about people as it is about technology, this is a story of passengers and pilots, entrepreneurs and adventurers, involving both high drama and terrible human tragedy.

 

All About History is the stunningly realised new magazine from the makers of How It Works and All About Space. Featuring beautiful illustrations, photos and graphics depicting everything from ancient civilisations to the Cold War, All About History is accessible and entertaining to all and makes history fun for the whole family.
