For anyone who's ever been interested in the early days of aviation history or perhaps the mythology of flight as it applied to early civilization might want to take a peek at a new software title on the shelves. After installation, the program starts at a main menu giving the user choices to different areas of aviation. These choices range from learning about what the Greeks beliefs of flying were, to the role women played in the days of barnstorming and record setting. After making a choice, the program takes the user to that part of aviation history for a full multimedia experience. For example, choosing the barnstorming option lead me to full motion videos or that era's pilots performing their profession, while a narrator detailed the scenes.
Several pictures are also available on each subject to view.
Many text excerpts are also able to be read. One of them was a story from a young pilot being taught acrobatics in the early 1900's. This was an actual letter written from that time, complete with the obsolete names and descriptions of the maneuvers they performed that day. In other areas, a person can learn the principles of flight and the common misconceptions of the early aircraft designs. A complete story is given explaining exactly how and why an airplane flies.
