It's an excellent book covering [as the name suggests] from kites to balloons the the Wright Brothers, right through the World Wars, the "Cold War" and the space age. It's an excellent read with almost every page containing some interesting fact or snippet. The style of the book is easy to read and will be very interesting to any aviation buff. The beginnings of aviation [that is, before the Wright Brothers came on the scene] are covered in much detail which is very interesting. The end of the book is perhaps more American-focussed but this is not a big issue - it is still a great read.
All in all, well recommended!

Hello Eric,
Thanks for visiting, and for recommending the blog to your friends! Much apprecate it.
As for advertising, at this time I'm not going down the advertising road. Mainly this is because I'm doing this purely as a fun thing and therefore there's little point in paying for advertising. Having said that, that might change in the future.
Cheers!
Rodney
