When flight was brand new and no one quite agreed how a machine stayed up, Zerbe set out to explain it. His book walks through the principles and structures of the early aeroplane, chapter by chapter, for readers hungry to understand the age's greatest marvel. A ground-level view of aviation's first decade. Learn how humans finally left the ground.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
