From the Wright Flyer to the Fokker D.VII, these prints trace the pioneer years of powered flight and the aircraft of the First World War. Roy Cross illustrated them for Hugh Evelyn's book of 1962, starting with early French machines by Antoinette, Blériot and Henri Farman and the Gordon Bennett Deperdussin racer. The wartime types include the Avro 504K, S.E.5, Sopwith Camel and the large Handley Page O/400 bomber, with the Spad S.13 and Albatros D.V representing France and Germany. The dates on the plates refer to the aircraft, not the prints.
