Since the jet era of the 1940s and 1950s, air travel has always been at the forefront of technology, culture, and luxury. The Art of Flying explores its fascinating evolution, tracing a rich cultural history from the mid-20th century to the present day. From technological advances such as pressurized cabins and Concorde to the bespoke crew uniforms of renowned designers like Dior, Emilio Pucci, and Moncler, to its interplay with architecture and art, air travel has always been both a reflection of its times and a symbol of cutting-edge technology. In partnership with VistaJet and richly illustrated with over seven decades of images, The Art of Flying celebrates the glorious past and the dream of luxury air travel today.

Editor and writer Josh Condon has covered travel, technology, fashion, automobiles, and more for publications including The New York Times, Men’s Journal, and Road & Track.
