TWO RECENTLY PUBLISHED BOOKS offer views of the National Air and Space Museum that even some of us who work here have never fully appreciated. The Legacy of Flight: Images from the Archives of the National Air and Space Museum is a real treasure. Our chief photo archivist, Melissa Keiser, selected 132 photos from the more than two million in our collection for a presentation to accompany the opening of the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center on the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers' first flight. Her presentation got such an enthusiastic response that many here thought it should be made available to a wider audience. This book is the result.
