The Wright Brothers mastered powered flight thanks to the invention of mechanisms to alter the lift of wings and a more efficient propeller design. Examining significant aircraft from these early breakthroughs through the rapid technical advances of the following decades to contemporary models and prototypes this volume employs Dorling Kindersleys trademark style of using countless illustrations cut out against a white background to tell the story of flight in a way that is clear concise and entertaining.
