Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book recounts the journey that led to one of humanity's oldest dreams coming to life: flying.

Set against a backdrop of scientific curiosity and public fascination, the book discusses in depth the various scientific principles and theories surrounding human flight that were prevalent at the time.
