The Story of the A?oplane (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781020400735)

This early 20th-century book charts the history of aviation from the first flights of the Wright brothers to the dawn of the First World War. It is written by one of the pioneers of aviation himself, Claude Grahame-White, who was a renowned pilot and aviation entrepreneur. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the early days of flying, when planes were still seen as dangerous and unreliable machines. It also includes thrilling accounts of some of Grahame-White's own record-breaking flights, as well as profiles of other notable aviators of the time.
