How did flying change from an adventure reserved for a handful of pioneers into one of the most familiar experiences of modern life?

At home in the sky tells the remarkable story of aircraft interiors and passenger comfort, following a journey that spans more than a century of aviation history.

From the airships of the 1920s to the great ocean-going flying boats, from the pioneering airliners of the early civil routes to today’s wide-body aircraft, and on to the latest visions of the future, the book explores how planners, engineers and designers gradually transformed the aeroplane into an increasingly welcoming, efficient and comfortable environment.

Through period photographs, rare images and detailed insights into cabins, seats, materials, lighting, onboard services and interior design, readers will discover a side of aviation history that is often overlooked: not only how we fly, but how we experience life in flight.

A volume for enthusiasts of aviation, transport history, design and travel culture, offering an original perspective on one of the great transformations of the modern world: the conquest of the sky as a space to inhabit.
