How did air travel evolve from a daring adventure into one of the defining experiences of modern life?
At home in the sky explores the remarkable transformation of aircraft interiors and passenger comfort from the earliest days of commercial aviation to the present era. Through a rich selection of photographs, historical accounts and technical insights, the book follows the development of the spaces where millions of travellers have spent their journeys above the clouds.
From luxurious flying boats and elegant piston airliners to the jet age, supersonic transport, executive aviation and the concepts that may shape the future of flight, the story unfolds through the aircraft, airlines, designers and innovations that changed the way people experience air travel.
More than a history of aeroplanes, At home in the sky is a journey through the architecture of flight and the evolution of comfort, technology and design in the skies.
