9th February 1969: The first flight of the Boeing 747 'Jumbo' jet signals the beginning of a revolution in air travel. Almost 25 years later the 747 is still going strong.

December 2003 marks the 100th anniversary of manned, powered flight and Corgi Showcase is proud to commemorate this historic milestone with a comprehensive collection of twenty pioneering and iconic aircraft from the past century. From the Wright brothers to the first moon landing, all are covered in a series of five themed categories, which can be collected individually or in sets of four. As an added bonus Corgi are also producing a unique 100 Years of Flight Time-Line. Designed to display all 20 aircraft models from the 100 Years of Flight Collection, plus the collector data cards, the time line charts the development of flight through ten decades of advancement. It builds not only into an attractive display, but also a highly educational chronology of aviation history.
