Description

An early book written by a variety of contributors detailing the progress made up to that date in both lighter-than-air and heavier-than-air flight. Contributors include the Wright brothers, Charles Manly, Octave Chanute, and Alexander Graham Bell. Although some of th experiments described were, as we now know, blind alleys, the book is of great interest to aviation historians and to the general reader.
