Colors & markings of the U.S. Navy F-4 Phantom: In detail & scale

On December 17,1903. the Wright brothers made the first powered flight by an aircraft that was heavier than air and aviation as we know it today was born. To moat people alive today, aircraft are so commonplace that the thought of a world without them is incomprehensible. But there are also people alive today who were living when Orville and Wilbur Wright wrote that first page in the history of modern aviation. In all of the pages that have followed, there have been many dramatic and unbe­lievable feats accomplished. The technology that began with motorized box kites produced aircraft that flew faster and faster and higher and higher. Man developed aircraft that shattered the sound barrier, then doubled and tripled the speed of sound in short order. He proved that the phrase "the sky's the limit" was not true for aviators as he stepped onto the surface of the moon and brought back pieces of its crust. But there are two related facts that are the most unbelievable of all others relating to modern aviation. First, of the many thousands of years that man has walked this earth, powered, heavier-than-air machines have flown for less than one hundred years —an almost infinitesimally small segment of the overall history of man. Second, all of the remarkable advances in aviation, from the Wright Flyer to the SR-71. the stealth aircraft, and the space shuttle, have occurred within a single lifetime.
