Filled with lavish illustrations and nostalgic photography, the book delves deep into the aircraft’s allure as a platform for art, fashion, architecture and design. Courtesy Bombardier Business Aircraft

The book revisits the classic chic of 1930s glamour, when flying meant a head for adventure as well as heights, through to the heady swirls and miniskirts of the pop-infused 60s (and onwards). Photograph: Mike Kelley
