Many Pepys games do not credit the illustrator or designer, some Pepys games don't credit themselves and a few Pepys games are published anonymously but do credit their sources. Flight is one of the latter. There's no mention of Pepys, Castell Brothers or any address on the box or rules but a there is full page of acknowledgements for the photographs upon which the cards were based. The game is also widely advertised on the rule books of other Pepys games as being one of their range.
