Manned heavier-than-air flight was undoubtedly one of the
most important achievements of the 20th century, playing
a crucial role in shaping the modern world that we know
today. As tools for travel, aircraft have brought people
together. As tools of war, they have all too frequently torn
people apart. The story of flight is a global one. From
Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the site of the first flights by
the Wright brothers, through to modern day Afghanistan
and Iraq where aircraft have been at the forefront of
conflict, our journey takes us across every continent of the
world, into the skies above deserts, oceans and beyond,
in times of peace and war. As much about people as it is
about technology, this is a story of passengers and pilots,
entrepreneurs and adventurers, involving both high drama
and terrible human tragedy.
