In addition, the progress of flight, from the Wright Brothers' first airplane to the giant airliners of today, is briefly described and pictured. Condensed, accurate specifications are included for each airplane, with the exception of a few late military models on which neither the government nor the manufacturers will release performance data. There are also charts indicating in chronological order all official speed and distance records."
