Description & Specifications

Does the Orville of Keith Harris really have a name that comes from the first pilot? What exactly is a 'Spitfire'? Why did Richard Branson try to cross the Atlantic with a balloon when he had an airline? These are the questions that don't keep real aeronautical historians awake – but never mind, 'From Wax Wings to Flying Drones' is here to answer them. Filled with significant information about airplanes, pilots, and pioneers such as the Wright brothers, Amelia Earhart, and that man from television who flew with the Concorde, this book is aimed at those who have ever watched a plane in the sky and thought, 'I wonder what its registration number is?'
