From the publisher's description: "The great value of this book, at least for the antiquarian bookseller or collector, is the attention given to the printed works associated with the history of aeronautics. The work makes constant reference to the historical literature of aeronautics. It is much more of a literary history of the subject than a technical one. There are hundreds of references to the mention of aeronautics in literature, science, belle-lettres, and the like.

The period covered is from the earliest times to the latter half of the nineteenth century. The work is adorned with 150 illustrations from contemporary sources, and contains a Chronology and a bibliography."… Read More
