HISTORY OF FLIGHT SIMULATION

Flight Simulators have existed - in ever more complex forms - since before World War I. This section of the FSG site aims to provide something of the history of flight simulators in both textual and pictorial form. If you have any photographs or other information you feel would contribute to this area of the site and that you would be willing to allow to be scanned and used here, please email them to the FSG Webmaster.
