The 17th December 2003 will mark the 100th Anniversary of the first powered flight by Wilbur and Orville Wright. To mark the occasion, Corgi is issuing this special commemorative set in a customised presentation display box. The set consists of four Showcase models, namely the Wright brothers' Kitty Hawk biplane, the Spitfire from the 1940's, Concorde from the 1970's, and the Columbia Space Shuttle from the end of the century. The set is accompanied by a 216 page book, compiled by Peter March and lavishly illustrated in full colour. 'Wright to Fly: Celebrating 100 Years of Powered Flight' is a comprehensive history of the first 100 years of heavier-than-air powered craft. It is not only that: it is an indispensable handbook to any collection of aviation modelling.Special Price 24.99
