This book sheds light on the life and ideas of a complex, gifted, and fascinating individual; a man whose life was packed with adventure, both in the realms of action and in the realms of thought; who was pioneer airman, writer, poet, philosopher, administrator, mathematician, scientist and practical inventor. Secondly, and in so doing, to say something about that relatively new discovery - flying; about the psychology of the airman; and about the beauty and interest of his profession.
