SynopsisFrom the ancient myth of Icarus to the USSR s and America s space race, man has always dreamed of soaring to the skies. This gorgeously illustrated book presents a global history of flight, including kite flying in China in the sixth century; da Vinci s prescient designs for flying machines; the Montgolfiers hot-air balloons; the pioneering work of the Wright brothers, Alcock, and Bleriot; and the subsequent rapid development of aviation technology that took us to the moon and beyond.
