Summary:
An illustrated chronicle of flight from the hot-air balloon to space stations and space shuttles contains an extended reference section and a running timeline beneath the text of other events happening at the same time.
Teaching Ideas:
The book provides material for different levels of ability and is an excellent addition to a text set on flight, with special interest for model aficionados. The herringbone strategy would work well with the individual passages. The running timeline suggests other areas of inquiry into historic events.
