The Aeroplane

Our aim in these pages is to tell a complete story of the aerial conquest, beginning from crude experiments, made hundreds of years ago; passing thence to the first serious experimenters, with their difficulties and triumphs; and so carrying on the tale to present-day achievements and the latest-type machines. There is one aspect of this history which has an especial fascination; and it is the personality of the men whobraving ridicule and scorn and surmounting obstacles without numberlaid the foundation-stones of flight. Instead of being a compilation of dates, with certain explanatory matter added, our book endeavours to make these men live: to show what induced them to embark upon their seemingly hopeless quest; to tell of their dreams and longings, and how they built their first frail craft; to trace them to their boyhood and their play with kites; to reveal them, in a word, as living beings, and not merely as names. With this strongly human note, emphasizing the romance of the tale, there goes also a series of explanationsmade clearer by drawings and diagramsand tending always to show how, link by link and step by step, data and experience were secured; how each pioneer, however humble, played his individual and [Pg vi] useful part; and how in the end, by sifting all such knowledge and carrying experiment to its final stage, the Wrights achieved the apparent miracle, and flew safely and successfully in a power-driven machine. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
