These days, with relatively easy global travel at our fingertips, we tend to take flight for granted. This month, Aviation History Month, learn how humanity conquered the skies.

Discover the role that flight has played in major world wars and throughout the 21st century. And next time you take a flight, remember all it took to get us up in the air!
