Hardback. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. This copy is in near fine, unmarked condition bound in brown cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The unclipped dustwrapper is in fine condition International postal rates are calculate…d on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased charges will be quoted. With plenty of period illustrations, Wragg tells the story of mankind's quest for flight, from the Greek legend of Icarus to the Wright brothers' first powered flight. It is a colourful, chaotic story - hot air jostling with hydrogen, rotary wings with fixed, steam power with clockwork, madmen with geniuses - as reason slowly emerges and eventually triumphs over a constant backdrop of flapping and feathers. Well-informed for his day and highly readable, Wragg is not afraid to add the odd wry touch. Describing one period he comments, "Heroes used the parachute or the balloon, cranks dreamed and spoke of heavier-than-air flight, children played with kites and toy windmills, while idiots tower jumped." Ref Z1.
