“Informative as this work's text is, visuals are its preeminent value: with about 700 color and black-and-white photographs, it will absorb aviation browsers and could well incite pilgrimages to the museum.” --Booklist

“The most popular museum in the U.S. has a pedigree in flight extending back to the Civil War’s observation balloons, a history this volume celebrates.” –Booklist
