Product Description
by David Long (Author), Terri Po (Illustrator)
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. It's 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.
