This volume chronicles the pioneers, machines and events that shaped aviation history: the Wright Brothers' flight at Kitty Hawk, Charles Lindbergh's triumph in The Spirit of St Louis, the dramatic air battles of World War I and II, Chuck Yeager's breaking the sound barrier; the record breaking flight of the Voyager and much more. Walter J. Boyne is also author of "The Smithsonian Book of Flight for Adults".
