This is clearly a British publication repackaged under the Barnes & Noble reprint for the US market with zero change to the text so it has a distinct UK centric feel. It’s also heavily biased towards the evolution of military flight with civil aviation something of an afterthought.

On the surface there’s not much here with just a thirty-page text intro covering the evolution of flight from 1903 to 2003 so it is by nature somewhat superficial.
