THE BIG BOOK OF FLIGHT
Book ID/图书代码： 11340013B62005
English Summary/英文概要： Everybody dreams of flying. For as long as we’ve been able to look up and see the birds we’ve wanted to join them. But our efforts to do so have not always been as elegant or accomplished. Instead, there’s been danger, excitement, courage and brilliance.
The Big Book of Flight is a celebration of it all, and a lot more besides, packed with derring-do stories of aviation’s pioneers as well as fascinating profiles of remarkable planes, from Spitfires to Space Shuttles (and a number of other wondrous projects that never quite got off the drawing board). Along with a unique collection of fantastic flight trivia, crucial questions are also addressed:
What’s so scary about the Bermuda Triangle?
Why does airline food taste so bad?
And how do you make the perfect paper dart?
With stunning photographs and illustrations throughout, The Big Book of Flight promises to surprise, entertain and fire the imaginations of anyone with their head in the clouds.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 每个人都梦想着翱翔天空。因为只要我们能够向上看到鸟儿们，我们就想加入它们。但我们努力这样做并非总是优雅的抑或是成功的。相反,飞行存在着危险，兴奋,勇气和才华。
飞行百科书囊括了这些特点，此外，更多的是充满了飞行界开拓者的大胆故事以及令人惊叹的飞机中非常好的机翼,从 喷火式战斗机到航天飞机（和许多其它一直在画板上的奇妙项目）
随着一本独一无二、奇妙的记录飞行小事件的珍藏集问世，人们也提出了至关重要的问题：
百慕大三角有哪些恐怖的地方？
为什么航空食品那么难吃?
以及你如何做出完美的纸飞镖?
拥有令人叹为观止的照片和插图贯穿其中，飞行百科书承诺让任何人惊喜，感兴趣并且激发他们的想象力。

About the Author/作者介绍： 在作者还是一个小男孩时，他就开始撰写关于飞机的文章。在他8岁的时候，他写了一个有关喷气式飞机的课题。而且，现在当我理解了如何使用一个撇号的时候，我对附有翅膀的东西的兴趣始终没有消停。
我的第一本书《火神607》于2006年在巴坦出版社出版。随后的2009年，出版了《凰凰中队》一书，在2010年，出版了《暴风雨前线》，它是有关于七十年代早期在阿曼的佐法尔战争一事。
这三本书都是《星期日泰晤士报》的十大畅销书，它们以平装书和电子书的方式出版。
Rowland White was born and educated in Cambridge before studying modern history at Liverpool University. At the age of eight, Rowland wrote a primary school project he called ’JET’S’. Since then, his understanding of apostrophes and quotation marks has improved, but his enthusiasm for aviation remains undiminished. He learnt to paraglide in 1993 during a year spent teaching in Zimbabwe and has held a pilot’s licence since 1998.
Rowland has written three books since 2006, including the number-one bestseller Vulcan 607. All have been Sunday Times top ten bestellers. He now lives near Cambridge with his wife, Lucy, and three children. And he’s hoping he might be able to find the time to start flying gliders . . .
