I bought this for my 14 year old son, who has been interested in aviation and aerospace since he was 4. When I gave it to him, he opened it up and immediately pronounced it, "Cool!" This is a major accomplishment for a mom of a teen, who is used to reactions ranging from apathy to disgust. Certainly, the format doesn't lend itself to a highly detailed account of aviation history, but this book is a true feast for the eyes, and should bring pleasure to aviation enthusiasts of most any age.
This is a beautiful fold out booklet with wonderful illustrations depicting an abridged history of the world of human flight. I'd love to frame it for the wall - the only problem is both sides are equally enchanting!
A fantastic fold out book beautifully illustrated. The definition of eye candy! Buy it!
