Publisher's Note From dream to flight--reenact the entire history of aviation with your own amazing paper dirigibles, hot air balloons, bombers, rocket ships, and more!
You'll learn all about the principles of flight, and the inventive men who figured them out, as you construct the most unusual fleet of flying machines ever. All appear in magnificent exploded diagrams and with cut-out photography to make construction easy. The best place to start is with the ornithopter, imagined by Leonardo da Vinci in the 1400s. This cool-looking model won't actually take off (hang it as a mobile or display it on a shelf, instead), but other replicas will, such as Lindbergh's famous Spirit of St. Louis, the X-15 Spaceplane, F4 Phantom Fighter, Hawker Harrier, and Voyager.
