Synopsis:
Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Wright brothers' first powered flight, these essays show how the Wrights' invention-and all that followed in both air and space-fundamentally reshaped our world. Leading aerospace historians consider four themes: innovation and technology, civil aeronautics and government policy, aerial warfare, and aviation in the American imagination.
About the Author: Roger D. Launius, chief historian of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Washington, D.C., has written or edited more than twenty books, most recently Imagining Space: Achievements, Predictions, Possibilities, 1950-2050. Dennis R. Jenkins, a consulting engineer in Cape Canaveral, Florida, has written over thirty works on aerospace history, including Space Shuttle: The History of the National Space Transportation System - The First 100 Flights.
