Originally published in Great Britain (London: Faber, 1966). A comprehensive, well documented, and excellently illustrated technological history by an aeronautical historian associated for many years with the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, emphasizing the role of the Wright brothers in the development of the aeroplane. The experiments, achievements, flights, gliders, and aeroplanes of the Wrights are extensively covered in many chapters and sections, particularly sections 9-11, 13-14, 17-18, 22-23, 42-45, and 57. Eight appendices include data on Wright aeroplanes, engines, control systems, flights, and the Wrights' influence on the revival of European aviation, 1901-1903. Includes bibliography, pp. 353-355. |
