This is the dramatic and entertaining story of many of the last's centuries most colourful adventurers. It shows how, thanks to dreams, courage and inspiration of a few hundred people, the aeroplane has developed from a Heath Robinson contraption of wooden sruts and fabric into a machine of steel and aluminium that can circle the earth in 100 minutes.
This book is a very readable and exciting account of the adventure of flight.
