The development of powered flight is a twentieth-century story. As that innovative century is now drawing to a close, the incredible attainments of flight, technical, political, and geographical can now be assessed. The history of aviation has touched all the populations of the western world: we are, or have been, threatened by bombers, defended by fighters, supplied by freighters and transported by airliners. From the Wright Brothers to the Concorde in a single lifetime, "Classic Aircraft" covers a wide spectrum, featuring the most interesting and important aircrafts from across the world. All the machines in the book - both military and civil - have serious claim to be considered as "classic" and represent the incredible advance in technology unique to the twentieth century.
