Found this beauty recently. Published in 1974 and it's in pretty good condition.

It starts with the myth of Icarus before covering 'flying machines' of all kinds: parachutes, gliders, hot air balloons, helicopters and commercial aicraft.
Much of it is military stuff though - famous air battles, famous fighters and bombers etc. And it's very much a 'boy's own' history of aviation...aherm, Amelia Earhart anyone?
Love the last page of Airline Insignia though - so old school!
Hmm, keep or cut up for bunting? What do you think?
Linking up to Flea Market Finds today.
