A chronology of the attempts, failures, and successes of early aeronautics in Europe and America, with a special interest in the successes of Wilbur and Orville Wright in North Carolina and Ohio. The other main focus of this book was on the military ramifications of man's early flights - the reactions of military decision-makers in Great Britain, the threat to Britain's insular status, and the rising anti-British German nationalism.
