From Da Vinci to the Wright Brothers, find out how people dreamed of taking to the sky in complex "flying machines", before inventions such as hot-air balloons, airships, helicopters and of course aeroplanes made it all possible. Featuring the lively illustrations of Stephen Cartwright. Usborne Young Reading has been developed with reading experts from Roehampton University.
