World of Flight explores the history, people and technology of aviation. It is divided into
four main subjects which are listed on the Content page displayed when starting the
program. These subjects are:
* At War
* At Work
* Flying Machines and Guides.
The background of the Content and subject area screens show scenes from aviation
history, some of which are animated. There is a permanent menu bar across the bottom
of the screen which repeats the four main subjects, plus it has buttons for Content, Index
and Help. "Content" allows users to get back to this main screen, while "Index" allows
them to search for a specific subject and be taken directly to it.
The four subject icons on the Content screen will take users into their particular areas
where submenus offer other choices. These submenus lead into more subdivisions. For
example, in the At War section, users can then choose between The Great War, WWII,
The Jet Age and Deadly Developments. Each of these is then further subdivided. In the
Guides section, there are nine experienced guides who tour users through their area of
expertise. Some examples of these are the flight instructor, the air traffic controller, the
pilot and the mechanic. The information in these sections is good but some of the guides
are unnatural and exaggerated. In addition to these guides, each screen has an icon for
"Bax Facts" which are short commentaries from Gordon Baxter who is a popular
aviation writer.
World of Flight features more than 1,000 photos, 1,000 audio clips, dozens of video clips
and more than 700 interactive articles. Users can meet famous aviators, fly with a stunt
pilot and explore alternate forms of flight. There is a screen-saver feature and a picture
gallery of all the pictures used in the program.
