Hard Cover. Zustand: Near Fine. DJ Near Fine. 1st Printing. From the Booklist review: Hallion, an international authority on aviation, draws on journals, diaries, and memoirs of aviation pioneers in a book that he has divided into what he calls "seven distinct phases to the invention of flight." They are the "prehistory" of human flight from antiquity to the Enlightenment; the era of the balloon and the first airships; early interest and work on the airplane, from the end of the eighteenth century to just before the Wright brothers' flight; the development of the airplane by the Wright brothers, another American, and a German; the resurgence of European aeronautics between 1905 and the end of 1909; the international expansion of flight and its incorporation into the military; and finally an era when planes played an ever more important role in world affairs. Hallion presents his book as an attempt to integrate and interpret the early history of flight within the context of prevailing social, cultural, technological, scientific, political, and military history. Filled with rare photographs and drawings, a decisive work. Gilt titles on gray cloth, over cream paper-covered boards. 531pp. Flatsigned on title page.
