Peter Shephard explores flight through the aircraft, ideas and achievements that made travel through the air possible. Illustrations and photographs help readers compare different kinds of flying machines and understand how their designs reflect the jobs they perform. The book connects an interest in aviation history with the basic principles and practical features of flight, making room for both familiar aircraft and the developments behind them. Its visual presentation invites browsing while supporting a more continuous introduction to the subject. Flight offers young and general readers a starting point for discovering aviation, combining the excitement of machines in the sky with an explanation of the ingenuity that puts them there.
