ISBN: 0-393-01385-5 Language: English Description: Ever since Icarus fastened wings to himself and flew toward the sun, man has dreamed of flying- a dream finally realized by Orville and Wilbur Wright at Kitty Hawk.
But the Wright brothers' success was only the end of a long quest in this country for a successful flying machine. For decades a small community of engineers, scientists, and dreamers had tried to ascend in every conceivable craft, from the aerial steam carriage to kites, from gliders to monoplanes, biplanes, and multiplanes. This is their story.
