This exciting Coloring Book -- the first of its kind -- chronicles the amazing story of man-made flying machines.
Educational as well as entertaining, this well-researched pictorial display is sure to please colorists of all ages as certainly as it will thrill anyone fascinated with man\'s conquest of the air..
An informative caption describes each craft -- its innovative design, functions, and military or historic role.
Forty-seven precise line drawings include: the history-making Wright Brothers\' Flyer (1903); the spunky World War II British Spitfire; the Messerschmitt ME 262 A, the first German jet (1945); the Bell X-1, the first manned aircraft to exceed the speed of sound (1947); and the Concorde Supersonic Transport, developed jointly by the French and the English (1969).
Smith\'s carefully rendered illustrations trace the History of aircraft, beginning with Leonardo da Vinci\'s design for the wing-flapping ornithopter, continuing with eighteenth-century hot-air balloons and nineteenth-century dirigibles, and concluding with such twentieth-century heavier-than-air craft as helicopters, jet fighters, and the space shuttle.
