Updated edition. The author presents a retrospective of the leading edges in aviation technology. He tells the story of pivotal developments in materials and design. His story is also one of the inventors. From Louis Bleriot's historic flight across the English Channel, of Howard Hughes dreams of winning the Thompson Trophy, Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier in the Bell X-1 'Glamorous Glennis', and of the hundreds of nameless engineers who worked in England and France to bring the Concorde to life.
