But high! A cartoon history of aviation

Since ancient times, people have longed to fly. They carefully observed the aerial journeys of plants, animals, and birds. They invented and retold fairy tales and myths about flying carpets and flying wizards. And they constantly made attempts to fly - but each time in vain. Only in the era of technological progress, when new knowledge, materials, and ways to combine them appeared, did humanity's dream gradually begin to come true: to rise into the sky.

How and why do plants spread through the air, birds, and animals migrate? Who invented balloons and gliders? Why did the first airplanes appear during the First World War, and when did the history of passenger aviation begin? And is it true that in our time you can make your own airplane? "The Illustrated History of Aviation" fascinatingly tells about amazing devices, important events, and people who influenced the development of aviation. Let's fly!
