Taking to the Air

An Illustrated History of Flight

From the crowds at balloon launches in the 1780s to the millions who watched the Moon landings on television in 1969, people have been fascinated by the spectacle of flight. Focusing on the experience of spectators rather than aviators, this history draws on the British Library’s diverse collection of printed imagery – including posters, book jackets and wartime propaganda – to trace the cultural impact of flight up to the ‘Space Age’.
