Flight with foldout jumbo jet

---

Flight explores and explains the fascinating story of our urge to fly - from the first fake wings to the incredibly courageous flights made in early balloons, airships, gliders, planes, and spacecraft. Wonderful Discovery artwork reveals how all kinds of creatures fly and how we successfully exploit and adapt these natural techniques.
Includes a panoramic eight-page gatefold revealing the cockpit and flight deck of a jumbo jet plane.
One of a series of information books, which enables the reader to discover all sorts of interesting facts about a range of subjects. This book looks at how and why things fly (including machines, birds, insects and some animals), how people have experimented over the years with different kinds of flying machines, and how in less than a hundred years since the first successful flight people can now fly to the moon. Some of the record-breaking achievements are listed, and the book contains a gatefold, which features a busy airport scene with a cut-away illustration of a jumbo jet. At the end there is a fun quiz enabling children to test their general knowledge.
