Are you from a flying family? Have you considered flying for a living or getting a flight license so that you can experience something great? Are you looking forward to having a flying car in your life? Ok, if that's the case, or if you just like aviation, I have a good recommendation, a great book, I believe you should read it. No, this is not a new book. It is more than just a book. In fact, it is a lot of books in a book - there are a total of 75 stories, each of which is easy to read and just the right length. The name of this book is:
"Aerial Characters - The Best Flight Story from Greek Mythology to Space Age", edited by Brandt Aymar and Walter J. Boyne, Wing Books, New York, New York, 1990, p. 597, ISBN: 0-517-14656-8.
This book applies to the title, because the first chapter is the famous story of Daedallus and Icarus. A father and a son of Greek mythology fly with their artificial wings and the son is too close to the sun. The wax on the wings melts and he cannot control himself. the height of. Next we have several sci-fi short stories, one of which is Isaac Asimov; "Saturn and the back" and then the book begins to enter the story of human flight and the very good story I might add.
On the front line of manpower flight, there are stories of spaceships, balloons and airships - then the design and story of Wright Brothers, Lindbergh, and Sikorsky, who made the first viable helicopter. I found the stories of flying mail, barnstorming, air games and early air shows very interesting.
This book is not without conflict, because it talks about the trump card of the First World War flying in Europe. There are many stories about the Second World War flight, involving the story of the pilots of the war parties; Japan, the Allies, the US Air Force, the German Air Force and the Russians. There were stories of pilots during the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Cold War.
The last set of stories is about female pilots in aviation - this is an inspiring reading for future female pilots - I highly recommend reading all the stories there. Interestingly, there are interesting stories about flying and weather - and Hurricane Hunters.
This book has a major part about prop age, jet age and space age. Our most famous Apollo astronauts have stories about stories, painful pains, and nervous stories. I think you will like this book as much as I do. Well done - don't hesitate.
