This book is stunning Aviation History and in addition to containing historic photographs, it is in the Art Nouveau style beautifully illustrating the era it represents.  [Please make sure you see the 19 photographs shown.]

Produced in time-sequenced sections, the book relates the stages of the Golden Years of Flight since its beginnings.  Staying true to fact and history, the book features narrative and historic photographs and art to take you back in time to appreciate the effort of the World and its peoples to Master Air Travel.

Here the three sections, provide you with a perspective of this 'beautiful' book, that impart the essence of why we began to fly:

  • Introduction
  • Section 1: In at the Start  - "High Spirits they had; Gravity they flouted."
  • Section 2: Aerial Adventures -  "The Engine is the Heart of an Aeroplane, but the Pilot is its Soul."
  • Section 3: This Flying Business -  "I suppose we shall soon travel by Air-Vessels, make Air instead of Sea Voyages, and at length make our way to the Moon, despite the want of an Atmosphere."
  • Acknowledgements

The Sections feature a wonderfully clear, informative, and explanatory narrative.  The pages photographed above reflect the essence of the following: 

Section 1 photos 4-8 - In at the Start:  The First: Great Aviators, Air Displays and Flights 

Section 2 photos 9-11 - The Air Races: Evolvement of the National Airlines and their Intercontinental Flights that Forged Air travel

Section 3 photos 12-18:  This Flying Business: Turning Aviation via the early International Airlines, into Worldwide Businesses, by undertaking regular flights in their Networks to different Cities and Countries 

This is the 'outstanding' factual overview of 'The Golden Age of Flight' and is presented in a larger format book that is sized at a beautiful 12" [30cms] Width and 9.1/4" [23/1/2cms] Height approx.

This historical book is beautifully written. Drawn from my private library and having been professionally stored, never displayed, and read once.  My private library of 1500+ aviation books was and is precious to me.
