The Story of Flight: Early Flying Machines, Balloons, Blimps, Gliders, Warplanes, and Jets

4/5 ( ratings)

Voyages of Discovery is a groundbreaking approach to the arts and sciences. Each book in this innovative series guides readers back to the source of people's knowledge about a specific subject... then, in stunning art and text, moves them forward through the present to the future. Page after page of dazzling graphics and special effects involve readers in an active exploration of our cultural history. The Story of Flight is a voyage of discovery: through time - from Leonardo da Vinci's designs for flying machines, to the Wright brothers, to the Concorde and planes of the future; through space - exploring relationships across cultures and continents, from birds and other flying animals to kites, hot-air baloons, dirigibles, blimps, biplanes, warplanes, and flying pioneers like Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart. The Story of Flight is interactive - designed to be read, handled... fully experienced! Through spectacular art and interactive elements in the book, you can - lift a tracing paper page to see how early airplane designers' diagrams became reality - unfold a flap to see a hot-air balloon lift off - turn an embossed foil page to see inside a jet - complete a history of warplane designs with reusable vinyl stickers, and more!
