Well loved Book!!
My 8 year old son loves this book!!! He absolutely loves all the pictures and any information he's gotten from it. The jets in particular have been a big topic of conversation during dinner. I'd definitely recommend!

A Pictorial History of Flight
I bought this book as a present for a young boy whose father is a professor of aeronautical engineering. The material is presented very well and covers all but the most recent commercial and military aircraft without a lot of boring detail. It not only describes the aircraft but covers interesting detail such as instrument panels, controls and flight gear. The book was everything I wanted - to expose this young man to the history of aviation.

Good for facts
Looks alright, my son wanted it for Christmas so I’m sure it’ll excite him. Seemed a bit pricey for how many pages there are and mine arrived with the pages all bent which I’m assuming is from something else that was in the box with it.
