Wild About Flying - Dreamers, Doers and Daredevils

WILD ABOUT FLYING tells the story of flight, from the late 1800s, when men like Otto Lilienthal were hurling themselves off cliff-tops strapped into flimsy gliders, to the modern day, with John Glenn circling the earth in the Space Shuttle at age 77. In this unique book, the story is told through the men and women who were there: the aviators, navigators, fighter-pilots, designers, engineers, and test-pilots who changed the world forever.
