| Abstract |
History of flight for secondary school students, illustrated by numerous photographs and paintings. Briefly discusses the Wright brothers' contribution and argues that the Wright brothers' insistence on protecting their patent rights, in effect, hampered the development of aviation in the United States and gave the advantage to European competition prior to the First World War. Includes an index. |
