Résumé
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 In the early 1900s, Americans flocked to air shows and flying circuses to marvel at flying machines and ponder man's conquest of the air. But flying remained an exceptionally dangerous occupation.#2 The successes and failures of these early aviators were front-page news. Pilots featured especially prominently in boys' magazines and comics, fueling young imaginations.#3 The three American boys who would be among the many thousands who marveled at the spectacle of flight were James H. Doolittle, Edward V. Rickenbacker, and Charles A. Lindbergh. They were all raised on the edge of poverty, but each became a pioneer of aeronautical science in his own way.#4 The Wright brothers' flight in 1903 was the first example of men of the air braving the dangerous skies. The three men who visited Hitler's Germany and warned American military authorities of the menacing buildup of German airpower were unable to convince American politicians of the danger.
