I did not think this was the strongest of the books in the series. While it did review very early flight attempts and people, it skipped a few and was, expectedly, mostly focused on the Wright brothers. A decent amount of space was given to Cayley, Lillienthal and Langley too. On the other hand, I loved the illustrations and found this engaging to read, so it was worth it. It did feel like a bit was missing though.
