Description
For centuries man has been fascinated by the idea of flight. But only recently has his technology matched his ambition. The author traces the path of man's mastery of the air from the earliest balloons to the first motor - driven heavier - than - air craft. And he recounts the deeds of the gallant band of air pioneers who, in war and peace, risked their lives to develop the art of flying, and turned it from a freakish spectacle into a dominant form of transport.
