17th December, 1903: The Wright Flyer lifts into the air piloted by Orville Wright, whilst his brother Wilbur looks on. The flight lasted only 12 seconds and covered a distance of just 121 feet (37 m). It is the first powered, heavier-than-air flight.

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.
