Description
A compact e-guide to everything you want to know about the history of aircraft and aviation. With amazing facts; fantastic photos; and warm, lively, humorous text, this mini e-guide will engage even the most reluctant reader. Read all about astonishing airplanes from the history of flight! Jet into the world of flight and discover its history, from the first hot-air balloons and gliders to today's supersonic spyplanes, helicopters, and space vehicles. Telling the stories of the pioneers of aviation, such as Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart, Flight also includes fun facts. For example, did you know that early airplanes landed on wheels that were borrowed from cars and motorcycles? Flight is part of the Microbites series, which uncovers the secrets of history, science, and the natural world. Investigate the most complicated thing in the universe--your brain--then travel to the most mysterious place as we dive into a Black Hole. Closer to home, marvel at the genius of the world's smartest Codebreakers! Whichever title you pick, you'll get the expert knowledge and fun facts you need on each topic, with every ebook includes illustrations, fun stories, and anecdotes.
