Who is this book aimed at?

General adult readers and older children who want an engaging story of flight rather than a technical manual. It works as an introduction to the subject.

Does it cover the Wright Brothers and the Moon landings?

Yes. It opens with the Wright Brothers' twelve seconds aloft and carries the story through to the Moon landings.

It is a narrative history, not a picture-led book. Readers wanting large photographs and diagrams should look at illustrated aviation histories instead.

Does it go beyond the Moon landings?

The title says 'and beyond', but the core of the book is the story up to the Moon landings. Do not expect detailed coverage of modern jets or spaceflight after that era.

Is it suitable for a teenager?

The storytelling approach suits confident younger readers and teens with an interest in flight, though it is written for a general adult audience.
