Powered flight started at the beginning of the 20th century but it was warfare that pushed the boundaries as more speed, more power and better weapons were needed.
After World War I, these advances led to commercial flight but just for the rich at first.
It was not until long after World War II that commercial flight became available more widely.
Modern passenger aircraft carry large numbers of passengers all over the world.
Military aircraft have come a long way also (mainly due to the use of the jet engine and aircraft carriers which can transport fire power anywhere in the world at short notice).
Most aircraft models we stock are military aircraft from World War II but we often have other military aircraft and other commercial aircraft in stock.
