Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This could be the most amazing book you'll ever read on early flight-a real trip back in time. Written by the aviation authorities of the day...Chanute, Lockheed, Maxim, Moedebeck, and many others present the true picture of aviation in its infancy. It features over 200 amazing photographs, 3-view drawings, detail drawings, and tables...from 1906 to 1911. You'll learn exactly how early aeroplanes were built and how they flew. Vivid descriptions of performance and handling, and the truth about their engines, will make you feel like you're at the controls! The aeroplanes of Antionette, Bleriot, Cody, Curtiss, Farman, Roe, Santos-Dumont, Voisin, the Wright Brothers and many more come alive on these pages. There's even a couple of chapters on building and flying a Bleriot and a Curtiss, a section on gliders, and how to build and fly model airplanes. It's truly amazing what had been accomplished by 1912-when every flight was an adventure. Flying was the miracle of the ages and its intrepid birdmen were the heroes and idols of the day. A better understanding of early aircraft and engines will give you a deeper appreciation of just how far we've come since flight's humble beginnings. During the first decade of the 20th Century mankind finally got off the ground. Those brave early designers and flyers discovered that the sky was not the limit-it was the gateway! They paved the way to the airplanes and the flying we enjoy today. If you love aviation and history, you'll love this book!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Lively history of British women aviators.' Daily Mail 'Compelling stories of female pioneers whose soaring ambition achieved firsts in the field of aviation.' Britain Magazine 'This lovely book offers a welcome and enjoyable read and provides a timely testament for these unsung pioneers of aviation.' Maggie Appleton MBE, Chief Executive Officer, RAF Museum 'A real celebration of the women who defied tradition and followed their dreams into the sky. Readable and entertaining, this book is a worthy tribute to Britain's woman aviation pioneers.' Sharon Nicholson FRAeS, Chairwoman of the British Women Pilots' Association Just eighteen months after two Frenchmen made the world's first ever flight, a fearless British woman hopped into a flimsy balloon and flew across the London sky for nearly an hour. Since then, many other remarkable British women have decided to defy traditional society and follow their dreams to get into the sky. For the first time, Magnificent Women and Flying Machines tells the stories of the pioneers who achieved real firsts in various forms of aviation: in ballooning, parachuting, gliding, airships and fixed-wing flight – right up to a trip to the International Space Station! Full of entertaining adventure, here at last is a proper record of Britain's wonderful women of the air.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important work of history tells the story of the aviation pioneers who devoted their lives, and often their fortunes, to the evolution of the aeroplane as it exists today. As early as November 1809 Sir George Cayley published a masterly essay practically inventing the aeroplane. It lay forgotten for 62 years, until found by Alphonse Pénaud. In August 1871 Pénaud flew his Planophore, the first model to resemble a modern aeroplane. He had discovered the secret of inherent longitudinal stability. The first flying machine built by Clément Ader, in 1889, was the Eole. Powered by a steam engine, he claimed to have flown in it, but there were no official witnesses. The first recorded, powered and manned flight in history, by Orville Wright in the USA on 17th December 1903, was achieved with a flying machine that required masterly skills to pilot it. The Wrights believed in the technical predominance of their design and tried to turn it into a monopoly, generating much controversy. Santos Dumont achieved the first world record for speed, distance and duration, taking to the air by means of the first powered take-off in the now standard manner in France on 23rd October 1906. This book is a comprehensive description of the continuous evolution that made the heavier than air flying machine possible, through the struggle of pioneers such as Victor Tatin, Octave Chanute, Léon Levavasseur with his V8 engines and the Antoinette, S.P. Langley and his Aerodrome, Captain Ferdinand Ferber, Charles Voisin, Louis Blériot and Glenn Curtiss, among others.

Book excerpt: Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines: This is a fascinating new book about many of the early aviators, their mishaps and their initial attempts to set unique air records. It also includes exclusive details from the Daily Mail Air Race drama first launched in 1906 and competed for in 1910 - promoting the quest to win �10,000 prize money: It is a unique diary of an incredible event. Based upon my grandmother's own recollections of the event, including diary entries, coupled with cuttings from news reports and papers of the day, this book gives a wonderful insight into the problems and excitement of these brave pilots. It highlights the battle and competition to win this staggering cash prize and a prestigious trophy as the first winner of the London to Manchester Air Race. This was practically the first time the UK had been used for a spectacular race and Manchester celebrated in style to welcome some of the most famous people of the day for this historic occasion.The film - Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines - was partially based on this event, and projected the likes of Frenchman Louise Paulhan and English flyer Claude Grahame-White and others to world fame.

Book excerpt: An aviation expert uncovers the brilliance behind the first successful flight of an engine-powered plane In the centennial year of the Wright Brothers' first successful flight, acclaimed aviation writer T. A. Heppenheimer reexamines what Wilbur and Orville Wright achieved. In First Flight, he debunks the popular assumption that the Wrights were simple mechanics who succeeded by trial and error, demonstrating instead that they were true engineering geniuses. Heppenheimer presents the background that made possible the work of the Wrights and examines the work of Samuel P. Langley, a serious rival. He places their work within a broad historical context, emphasizing their contributions after 1903 and their convergence with ongoing aeronautical work in France. T. A. Heppenheimer (Fountain Valley, CA) has written extensively on aerospace, business, and the history of technology. His many books include Turbulent Skies: The History of Commercial Aviation (0-471-10961-4), Countdown: A History of Space Flight (0-471-14439-8), and A Brief History of Flight: From Balloons to Mach 3 and Beyond (0-471-34637-3), all from Wiley.

Book excerpt: Alexander Frater’s new book is about a small, largely forgotten group of young men who, early in the twentieth century, competed to build and fly Britain’s first aeroplane. At the heart of his story lies the Balloon Factory, a cathedral-sized shed overlooking Farnborough Common, and its most celebrated occupant, the remarkable Sam Cody. It was he, a long-haired, gun-toting Texan ex-cowboy – barely literate, yet describing himself as ‘a playwright’ – who, in October 1908, finally won the race. Frater, described by the Independent as ‘the most engaging of all living travel writers’, goes in search of the pioneers and, in a work that is part history and part journey, picks up – for example – the Cody trail in Farnborough, visits the hillside above Blair Atholl where John William Dunne tested his extraordinary machine, near Scarborough discovers the stately home in which Sir George Cayley, a millionaire Yorkshire MP, invented the science of aeronautics, and, at Brooklands, begins to wonder if the first-flight crown was, in fact, handed to the wrong man. Frater’s richly described and wonderfully anecdotal journey brings those magnificent men – the rock stars of their time – and the places they knew vibrantly to life.
