{"product_id":"eugene-ely-john-h-zobel-9781682478370","title":"Eugene Ely: Pioneer of Naval Aviation","description":"The story of Eugene Ely's life is the stuff of myth and legend. Much of what has been written about him relies on sensationalized newspaper accounts from an era when early twentieth century reporters unabashedly fabricated stories to increase newspaper circulation. Those accounts portray Ely as a reckless daredevil and are essentially historical fiction. \u003ci\u003eEugene Ely: Pioneer of Navigation\u003c\/i\u003e cuts through the sensationalism by relying on primary sources and photographic records and triangulating multiple sources to arrive at an honest portrait of the man and his legacy. The result is the story of a quiet, self-effacing Iowan who did extraordinary things. Ely's measured approach and calculated demonstrations of the potential of military aviation ultimately pointed the way to today's modern aircraft carriers, over a century later.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John H.
