Aviation history like never before! Everything that flies—from the first balloons and hang gliders to jets, drones, and solar-powered aircraft—in one spectacular comic-book about conquering the skies.
Here, you'll encounter a diverse gallery of scientists, inventors, and designers: those from the distant past, like Leonardo da Vinci and the Montgolfier brothers, those more recent, like the Wright brothers and Otto Lilienthal, and those still in their infancy, who continue to come up with new, amazing ideas. You'll see how brilliant inventions and iconic machines were created, and you'll learn about the breakthrough moments in the development of aviation.
You'll also meet brave aviators, crazy aerialists, and test pilots. You'll see how a jet engine works, how aircraft carrier crews operate, and what it was like to travel by airship. You'll get a close-up look at the cockpit of a fighter jet and the cargo bay of a jumbo jet, and you'll also find out if it's possible to build an airplane in... a garage.
But that's not all! In an accessible and entertaining format, you'll learn the answers to the most important questions: how does a plane stay in the air? How does radar or a parachute work? Are wings or a rotor better? Is it possible to fly without propulsion? Important concepts like g-force and the sound barrier will hold no secrets from you.
The fascinating history of aviation is a story of countless ups and downs, proving that even the wildest dreams can become reality. Fasten your seatbelts, we're taking off!
