Elevate your collection with The Art of Flying, the stunning Assouline masterpiece that celebrates the golden age of aviation and the enduring dream of luxury air travel.

Since the jet age dawned in the 1940s and 1950s, flying has stood at the intersection of cutting-edge technology, high culture, and timeless glamour. This lavish volume traces the fascinating evolution of air travel—from revolutionary innovations like pressurized cabins and the iconic Concorde, to bespoke crew uniforms designed by fashion legends including Dior, Emilio Pucci, and Moncler, and its profound interplay with architecture, art, and design.

In exclusive partnership with VistaJet, and lavishly illustrated with over 120 stunning images spanning more than seven decades, this book captures the romance, innovation, and sophistication that have defined luxury flight from the mid-20th century to today.
