ISBN10: 0195160355, ISBN13: 9780195160352, [publisher: Oxford University Press Inc, United States, New York] Softcover The invention of flight represents the culmination of centuries of thought and desire. Kites and rockets sparked our collective imagination. Then the balloon gave humanity its first experience aloft, though at the mercy of the winds. The steerable airship that followed had more practicality, yet a number of insurmountable limitations. But the airplane truly launched the Aerial Age, and its subsequent impact-from the vantage of a century after the Wright Brother's historic flight on December 17, 1903-has been extraordinary. Richard Hallion, a distinguished international authority on aviation, offers a bold new examination of aircraft history, stressing its global roots. The result is an interpretive history of uncommon sweep, complexity, and warmth. Taking care to place each technological advance in the context of its own period as well as that of the evolving era of air travel, this ground-breaking work follows the pre-history of flight, the work of balloon and airship advocates, fruitless early attempts to invent the airplane, the Wright brothers and other pioneers, the impact of air power on the outcome of World War I, and finally the transfer of prophecy into practice as flight came to play an ever-more important role in world affairs, both military and civil.

New York: Oxford University Press, Date: 2003. 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.
