Flights of Fancy: Defying Gravity by Design and Evolution is a 2021 book written by Richard Dawkins and illustrated by Jana Lenzová.
Flights of Fancy talks about almost every aspect of flying–all the different ways of defying gravity–in imagination and in technology, in humans and in animals. It ranges over many instances of flight including the Wright brothers, Greek mythology, extinct and living birds, helicopters, insects, bats, and flying squirrels.[1]
