This is a gorgeous book that provides a nice overview of aviation from its dawn up through the 1930s. The text (in three languages) doesn't provide any great depth or insight, but it doesn't profess to either. This is a great coffee table book and a lovely visual glimpse into the history of flight.

Der Anfang war nicht sehr leicht zu lesen. Die Bilder haben geholfen die Geschichte zu verstehen, und es war auch recht interessant. Als PPL oder CPL, ich empfehle es zu lesen
