In support of The National Trust. In 1903 the Wright Brothers achieved their dream of powered flight and from then on man's domination of the skies became a reality. The military potential of aircraft was obvious form the outset, first as a way of spying on the enemy with reconnaissance planes and balloons armed with early cameras and then as a way of taking the battle into the skies, as planes became weapons of war.
