Summary:Time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry is reviewed from its inception in the 1940s to the present day. The review is concerned with fundamentals of time‐of‐flight analyzers and of ion sources to the extent that sources influence analyzers. The patent literature has been covered, and efforts made to bring to light less well‐known papers and studies © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Mass Spec Rev. 35:738–757, 2016
