In the decades following the First World War, when aviation was still a revelation, flight was perceived as a spectacle to delight the eyes and stimulate the imagination. This book, illustrated with photographs, paintings, and posters, offers an account of aviation and its hold on the popular imagination during the years between 1920 and 1950.
