Hardcover. 386 p. Illustrations (some in color). Index. Flight has gripped the imagination of mankind ever since our earliest ancestors stared in wonder at the birds and insects soaring effortlessly above their heads.From the mythical Vimana flying machines of ancient India to the stealth bombers of today, humans have pursued a tireless quest to ascend ever higher and travel ever faster, exploring the upper reaches of the atmosphere and beyond.The success enjoyed by the early pioneers of flight such as the Montgolfier and Wright brothers triggered frantic innovation and experiment, given impetus by the demands of warfare and commerce.The results have allowed humans to traverse continents in a single day, to set foot on the moon, and to travel at supersonic speeds in conflict and at leisure.Illustrated with more than 350 stunning photographs and artworks, The History of Flight is an elegantly designed and exhaustively researched celebration of humankind's desire to conquer the skies.From the earliest musings on the mechanics of a bird's wings to the super-efficient computer-controlled aircraft of tomorrow, this book explores the way aviation has shaped the modern world.Profiling the many innovators who sought to roll back the boundaries of manned flight through endurance, speed, and danger.this book also covers the use of aircraft as a weapon, how air travel has shrunk the globe, and the contribution of space flight to our understanding of the universe.The final chapter gives the reader a glimpse of the role that aviation may play in the future, in both war and peace."

Leinen mit Schutzumschlag. Condition: sehr gut erhalten, neuwertig. Hochwertige Ausstattung, sehr gute Bildauswahl. - - Seit Urzeiten zeugen Sagen und Mythen von der menschlichen Sehnsucht, sich Vögeln und Insekten gleich mühelos in die Lüfte zu schwingen. Von den Vimana-Flugmaschinen der indischen Mythologie bis zu den modernen Passagierflugzeugen strebte die Menschheit unermüdlich in immer größere Höhen und stößt mit zunehmender Geschwindigkeit in die obere Erdatmosphäre vor. Getragen von begeistert gefeierten Erfolgen so früher Flugpioniere wie den Brüdern Montgolfiere und Wright, entwickelten sich die Fluggeräte nicht nur zu globalen Transportmitteln, sondern revolutionierten auch Taktik und Strategie des Militärs. Heute reist der Mensch an einem einzigen Tag von einem Kontinent zum anderen, hat den Mond erreicht und fliegt als Passagier und Soldat mit Überschallgeschwindigkeit. - Illustriert mit mehr als 350 spektakulären Fotos und brillanten Bildern, zeigt die prachtvoll gestaltete und auf umfassenden Forschungen basierende Geschichte der Fliegerei, wie der Traum vom Fliegen Wirklichkeit wurde und der Mensch den Himmel eroberte. Von ersten Studien über die Anatomie des Vogelkörpers bis zum computergesteuerten Flugzeug von morgen beschreibt dieses Buch, wie Luft- und Raumfahrt unsere Welt geformt haben. Vorgestellt werden die vielen Pioniere, die die Grenzen des bemannten Fluges durch immer längere Flugdauer und höhere Geschwindigkeiten stetig erweiterten. Die Geschichte der Fliegerei berichtet außerdem über das Fluggerät als Waffe und zeigt auf, wie unser Globus durch den Luftverkehr schrumpft und was die Raumfahrt zur Erkenntnis des Universums beiträgt. 384 p. sehr viele Fotos.
