... Civil Aviation History Pg.1 ...




Man has looked to the sky and wanted to be up there since the beginning of his history, but it wasn't until early in this century that that dream was finally realized. In less than one hundred years we have managed to not only cast off our earthly bounds but have even travelled into space. Naturally, the story of how this finally came about and all that has ensued since those first tentative flights of the Wright Brothers can hardly be discussed completely in any single volume, so I've tried to gather together a collection of titles that present that history from many different perspectives. So whether your interests are focused on the very beginnings of manned flight, or some specialized element of that activity that developed between then and now, you will probably find a book or two in this treasury of titles that can answer your questions and help fill in the blanks.
