Each book in the "Oxford Reds" series is on a real-life subject, with a simple lively text and realistic illustrations. Many are written by well-known children's writers. This is the latest addition to the "Oxford Reds" beginner reader series and ties in with the centenary of the first flight by the Wright brothers (December 1903). Did you know that the first flight was made 100 years ago, by the Wright brothers? Their Flyer aeroplane stayed in the air for 12 seconds! "Oxford Reds Aeroplanes" contains information on the first unsuccessful attempts at flight, the launch of the hot-air balloon, the successes of Otto Lilienthal and the Wright brothers, through to today's airliners.
This is Book 4 in the Oxford Reds Series. See all Oxford Reds books here.
