It has a lot of little fascinating stories about significant planes with technical specs and why they made a difference in history. Lots of great and historic photographs to keep any kid happy, with enough rich history and stories to make any grown man feel happy like a kid.I would highly recommend this for all ages, even if you have well knowledgeable pilot friends, this is a great coffee book to keep around for friendly discussions, instead of having everyone huddle around a computer and search stuff on wiki (which is all fine and dandy, but having a physical book is still nice). I'd recommend buying used to save a few bones since in my experience, most people tend to take care of these larger, text book sized paper backs better than others; unless its a gift.I would also recommend The Nation's Hanger: Aircraft Treasures of the Smithsonian as another great read that really showcases other planes of historic value. I bought both at the same time and really go hand in hand as other's have suggested to me. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great for young and old-ish *by L***L on January 1, 2013* I bought this for my husband. He wasn't into planes until about 3 months ago, so along with all the documentaries he's been watching, this book fits right in and ties the plane technology together with all he's watched in the past few months. My daughter also is in love with the book. She's 2 and considers it bed time, afternoon, and morning reading- move over Good Night Moon.The book is comprehensive and makes planes interesting for even the person not interested (me). I am impressed with the documentation, historical accuracy and pictures. I'm also impressed with the ease of reading. This book is meant for anyone who wants to learn about planes, not just the folks who know all the lingo already.The only thing I was hoping to see more of were pictures of inside the cockpit and all the gadgets, how the cockpit has changed throughout history and what the gadgets do. I have yet to find an all inclusive book that combines this history with a pictorial comparison from the first flight to today of what the pilot and copilot sees from their seat while flying the plane.Aside from this, I couldn't ask for a more comprehensive compilation of material on flight. Kudos to the publisher and authors for continuing to release updated volumes with more current material. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you buy just one big airplane book, buy this one *by D***H on May 13, 2003* This is an amazing great big book. There are hundreds of big glossy books of planes and aviation history in bookstores, and with the 100 years of powered controlled flight anniversary, there will no doubt be a few more bowing the shelves. But if you want to buy just one, say for a present, then this is the one to buy. It is balanced, it is complete, it has pictures and text in harmony -- and it is not slapped together like some other slightly embarrassing flying tomes.Over 400 pages perfect for a youngster, yet written well enough for any adult. Is it perfect? No. But 400 pages of perfection would be hard. I would have put in RJ's rather than the F-28 in the current small airliner section, but complaining about a couple of details should not hide the fact that this is one big cool book. Whatever more detailed specialized books about flying you get later, you will not need to get a great big glossy exciting celebration of flight book again. You'll already have one of the best. ## Frequently Bought Together - Flight: The Complete History - Two Sides of the Moon: Our Story of the Cold War Space Race --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1339531-flight-the-complete-history](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1339531-flight-the-complete-history) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
