Summary

From the Wright Brothers' first biplane to the Concorde supersonic airliner, from the P-51 Mustang of World War II to the modern-day Stealth fighter, Supreme Machines Airplanes chronicles the quest for mastery of the skies from the early 1900s to the present day. Watch as the Wright Brothers struggle into the air for the first time, fly with Charles Lindbergh across the Atlantic, and blast along at three times the speed of sound in a Blackbird spy plane. At the end of the book you can find out about the latest developments and see where aircraft design is heading in the next millennium.
