About this product
Product Information
When the Wright brothers made their momentous first ever manned powered flight at Kittyhawk in North Carolina on 17 December 1903, the event heralded the birth of one of the most far-reaching inventions in the history of mankind. Peter Cooksley opens his narrative account with an overview of mankind's fascination with flight, in fact and in legend, before examining in the first half of the book the early lives and background of the Wright brothers. He proceeds to review their early trials with gliders and the steps that led them to building and flying the world's first powered aircraft. The success of the Wright Flyer is described and the granting of manufacturing licences for the aircraft around the world. The second half of the book explores the development of flight by other aviation pioneers, presented in chronological order of their greatest achievements. The reader can compare men like Cayley, Lilienthal, Maxim, Pilcher Santos Dumont, Cody and Bleriot with the Wrights and with one another. A comprehensive selection of archive photographs, illustrations, line drawings and maps complements the author's informative narrative.

I think this item (which was one of four bought at the same time as part of a special offer) had to be re-despatched. I told them it didn't arrive with the other books so they made arrangements to get it to me ASAP. They said it would be despatched within 48 hours and it was despatched within 24. I had it on my doorstep in 3 days, in very good condition as described. Very happy with the price and the service, highly recommended seller. Very professional.
