ISBN: 1 900511 86X Language: English Description: "One can but wonder what it is about Cody's Tree that draws such attention at the present time more so than in past years.

What is it about an old withered remains of a pine tree that can stir the imagination in such a way that a pioneering man like Samuel Cody is being given the honours he so rightly should have received in years -one by?? And this "old withered tree" is not even the original wood, but just a metal replica!

Perhaps today, man is becoming more aware of the great importance of the achievements of those pioneers who paved the way for our modern aerospace industry When one considers all the obstacles that they had to overcome they surely must have been inspired in some way for them to have succeeded in their aspirations."
