    I can’t begin to imagine the hundreds of hours of research that went into this book which deals with man’s efforts to get off the ground from the very beginning up until the present day and then the forecast for the future. Branson demonstrates his passion for flying in the many forms and carries the reader along with him with some entertaining parts. If you are a Branson fan you’ll enjoy this book.
