An edition of The epic of flight (1980)

Architects of Airpower (Epic of Flight)

This series traces the adventure and science of aviation from the earliest manned balloon ascension to 1983 in the era of jets. The history of flight is told through readable text, photographs, posters, paintings, maps, and other illustrations. The set is notable for its healthy amount of WWII aviation history. As with many Time-Life sets, the editors were able to tap into Time's and Life's enormous image archives.
