We need to be reminded just how far flight has come in just 100 years, and The Magic of Flight does that nicely.

Revisits the wild blue yonder and is at its very best in mid-air.

Incredible photography, and it is informative, but I was hoping for something that was more about the history of flight and thought there was too much focus on modern aircraft. Mundane score. A disappointment.
