Since Icarus, man has dreamed of conquering the sky. These are the stages of this formidable conquest which are retraced here, through 100 significant planes of this desire to dominate the airspace. From the first flights of Clément Ader or the Wright brothers, carried out at the turn of the 20th century, to the giant Airbus R-380 or even work on the NASA space plane, all aspects of aeronautics are discussed here. Airliners, intended for the transport of travelers, military planes with limitless prowess, utility planes like the Canadair or small machines intended for aerobatics, the most fabulous devices in are brought together in this book. Echoing the magnificent photographs which illustrate it, this extraordinary epic is told to us by François Besse who, himself, pilot planes and gliders. Aviation journalist for more than twenty years, he contributes to several magazines as author or editor-in-chief.
