Produced in association with the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum, this volume of capsule histories and archival images traces the history of flight with all the sepia-toned authority of a public broadcasting documentary. Offering thumbnail profiles of aviation heroes and inventors and a plethora of diagrams and photos, the oversized tome straddles the line between something to put on a coffee table and something to give to a panting, preteen armchair pilot.Богато иллюстрированная энциклопедия, посвящённая истории авиации, от издательства Dorling Kindersley. История авиации и космонавтики за последние сто лет.
