| Tags : | Avions Aéronautique Aviation Histoire Historique Illustrations Photographies: STOFF Early Aviation | Index. décimale : | 629.130 22 Aéronautique - Illustrations | Résumé : | The concept of flight has intrigued man since he first observed the birds of the air. But not until the early years of the century of the 20th century would he successfully break the ties that bound him to earth.
This excellent pictorial history lavishly chronicles the exciting saga of those first aviators and their frail aircraft. As aviation historian Joshua Stoff shows, these courageous men and women flew planes that were little more than box kites of wood, cloth and wire, difficult to control and so sensitive to air currents that even moderate winds could cause them to crash. To fly such machines required, in Stoff's words, "a unique blend of courage, dedication curiosity and fanaticism". |
