Yet the facts that aviation – from its birth with the Wright Brothers’ Flyer to the era of manned space flight – developed within the span of a lifetime is perhaps the most impressive achievement of humankind. Today, it is difficult for us to imagine ourselves living in a time when hundreds of would-be aviators toiled for years to create flying machines that then failed to fly or who bravely leaped from tall buildings while flapping homemade wings./…/ AVIATION: THE FIRST 100 YEARS takes a broad and entertaining look at the development of the aeroplane, presenting themed chapters that cover the personal and technical endeavors of those who created and manned each era’s aeronautical wonders. The lively text, written by one of the world’s foremost authorities on aviation, is lavishly complemented by over 650 photographs. 29 x 24 cm. 1060 cm.
