From the Publisher
With its expert text and its paintings by renowned aviation artists, Wright to Fly is a splendid tribute to the people, aircraft, and events that have shaped the amazing story of powered flight since the Wright brothers’ first successful flight on December 17, 1903. A hundred beautifully reproduced paintings illustrate the enormous strides that have been made—from the flimsy wood and fabric aircraft of the earliest years, through the powerful piston–engine fighters and bombers of World War II, to the stealth jets, the Concorde supersonic airliner, and shuttle–flight into space. An outstanding commemorative volume for all aviation enthusiasts. Peter R. March is a leading aviation author and photojournalist; among the many books he has produced for The Royal Air Force Benevolent Fund are Brace by Wire to Fly–by–Wire: 80 Years of the RAF and Sabre to Stealth: 50 Years of the USAF.
