Over the last century many inventions were made. Aviation was not an exception. Russia and Britain played a significant role. British civil aviation traces its origins back to 1919. In the USSR it started in 1921. The aviation in both countries developed similarly, but they did not have the same functions. The main goal of the UK was to build a relationship with foreign countries. Russia concentrated on developing the remote areas of the enormous country. The possibility of flights caused the development of philosophical and humanistic ideas. Many books and movies were created on the theme.
