This book covers aviation from it's earliest beginnings. There are many books on this subject, but this one stands out.

The book is amazingly concise, and yet it covers all of the important developments in aviation. My experience as a lifelong aviation enthusiast and private pilot makes me a good judge of this material. This book is intended for kids, but it has something even and old "fly boy" like me can enjoy.

The pictures in this book are striking in detail. Along with many other fantastic pictures, this book has the finest picture of a Bleriot XI that I have ever seen. The detail is unparalleled.

This is a book intended for children, but anyone would learn a great deal from it.

DK has done it again. A great kids book with wonderful pictures. The captions are descriptive and provide accurate information about flying machines. Not too much detail but enough for a beginner.

Are you a parent of an aviation enthusiast? This book will make a wonderful gift.

Actually, it's good for parents, too -- the format and the big big illustrations makes it easy to share this with a child in little chunks. If your aviation enthusiast is big enough to read this independently (1st grade?), then lucky them!

This book wows us! It's big and it offers a lot of punch in the graphics and photographs.
