Published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers' first successful flight, the stunningly illustrated Flight captures the excitement of a century of far-fetched dreams and equally remarkable innovation, from the defeat of Donald Douglas by Boeing's William Allen to Charles Lindberg alone at night in his cockpit on his way to Paris, to British bomber crews over Hamburg, to Chuck Yeager's near disaster and miraculous recovery. What began as a death-defying spectacle turned into both the safest and fastest way to travel and a terrifying war machine. Drawing on the holdings of the National Air and Space Museum, the National Archives and the US Air Force, this is the story of an invention that began with two curious brothers on a chilly and windswept beach and went on to radically change the course of history.

One hundred years ago the Walsh brothers made the most significant first flights in New Zealand aviation history. The potential of aviation connecting New Zealand to the world in both social and economic terms was quickly exploited by enterprising New Zealanders. Today we take international air travel for granted and the use of all types of aircraft in our everyday life has become the norm, from crop dusting to freight delivery, and from rescue helicopters to military patrols. This book tells only a small part of that journey but the stunning images contained within portray New Zealanders' enduring love affair with flight.
