Flight : From a Balloon to the Moon and Beyond

From a hot air balloon to holidays on the moon, award-winning David Long captures the astonishing true stories of advances in aviation.

From the Wright Brothers twelve seconds aloft to the Moon landings less than a lifetime later, the story of aviation is not just a series of astonishing advances made at breathtaking speed. Its also about the courage and ingenuity of the men and women who made such rapid progress possible; about the romance of soaring above the clouds; and perhaps most of all about the exciting and exhilarating realisation of a dream which is literally centuries old.
