Next year sees the celebration of 100 years of flight since the Wright brothers made their maiden powered flight in the USA in 1903. Few advances in technology have shaped the world in which we live as much as the airplane. From the historic day in 1903, aircraft have come to dominate global transport and communications in a way that could not have been imagined a century earlier - the world has literally become a smaller place. The Timechart of Aviation History, with over 400 full-colour illustrations provides an authoritative and accessible guide to the development of all types of flying machines - from balloons, dirigibles and gliders, thru biplanes, triplanes, fighters, bombers, airliners and seaplanes to the very latest supersonic jets, stealth bombers and attack helicopters.

The contents include:

• The History of Aviation: a spectacular 16-page diagram with gatefolds to provide complete continuity, fully illustrated and graphically depicting the history of aircraft from earliest times (including the balloons of the nineteenth century) to the present. The subjects are classified to enable the reader to compare developments in:
  • Lighter than air craft
  • Military Aviation
  • Wars & Weapons
  • Civil Aviation
  • Technical Development
    
    Inside the gatefolds are concise biographies of the major personalities in the history of aviation - great aviators and pioneers, plus the designers and builders of a century’s aircraft.
    
    
• A Comprehensive A-Z FactFinder provides instant access to information on every significant aircraft ever flown, with tabulation of full name, manufacturer, code name, type, nationality and first flight
• A sequence of double-page spreads concentrates on specific aspects of aviation and aircraft types, with full-colour illustrations and data tables, from airships to stealth machines.
• The book concludes with an useful directory of aviation Museums and Air Shows
