Some time ago there was a TV series on the History of flight,I think it was called Wings. I’d love a book like that, any recommendations,doesn’t matter if its old or out of print as I may be able to find it second hand from bookmooch.com or bookhopper.

It really depends on what you want out of such a book. Lots of pictures? Detail? History?
It’s too broad a subject to encompass in one publication, but there’s dozens of books that cover the basics. Try Dorling Kindersley’s Flight -100 Years of Aviation.
That should keep you busy for an hour or two!
Well i’d like a book that traces the development of airplanes and helicopters. Key moments in aviation history kind of thing. That DK book sounds good. A while ago I had book from the library on planes of world war 2 that was quite interesting,and had large colour plates.
