The Rutan/Yeager Voyager, the only aircraft to have flown around the world without refueling.

The 1935 DC-3 Douglas Sleeper Transport, which revolutionized commercial travel. These planes are just a few of the milestones of flight-now re-created as replica models by master paper airplane engineers Ken Blackburn and Jeff Lammers, authors of The World Record Paper Airplane Book, Kids' Paper Airplane Book, and Pocket Flyers Paper Airplane Book, together with a soaring 1.6 million copies in print. The Spirit of St. Complete with time lines, history, trivia, stats, and specs, it's the glory of aviation, all ready to make and fly.

. There is a section of hints on paper-airplane construction and advice on how to adjust the reproductions for optimum flight. and ends with contemporary space shuttles.
