From Barrels to VR: Flight Simulation’s Journey

Our colleague Walter Ullrich’s new book, All But Flying Is Simulation - The Illustrated History of Flight Simulation, is a fascinating study of the subject from the earliest designs of possible flying machines, through the days of manned flight in the late 1800s and the wars of the 1900s to today’s digital era. From the Antoinette Training Barrel to VR.

Drawing on Italian, French, British, Russian and US sources, Walter has compiled a unique record of the history of simulation with an unmatched collection of images and technical drawings dating from 1799.

An absorbing read for all interested or involved in flight simulation from a keen observer of the simulation industry and its creations.
