Beginning in 1913, this fascinating account of the world´s most famous aircraft traces the development of the technology and styling in the field of aircraft design, while the story of the incredible leaps forward in performance is almost unbelievable.
Many of the black and white photographs of the earlier planes are unique historical documents and the names they bear are evocative of the age in which they flew: Handley Page 0/100 and Fokker Dr. 1 of World War 1, the Dornier Flying Boats of 1922, Dornier Do 17 and Douglas DC-3 of the 1930s and the legendary Spitfire, Messerschmitt Bf 109 and Heinkel He 111 of World War 2.
Famous post-war names include the ahead-of-its-time de Havilland Comet, the giant Boeings, Concorde, European Airbus and the incredibly versatile Panavia Tornado.
