Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Colonel Cody and the Flying Cathedral: The Adventures of the Cowboy Who Conquered the Sky (Paperback)
This book is really a GREAT read! It tells the story of Samuel Cody from his days as a cowboy out West through his life in England as a "wild west" showman and his improbable role in the history of aviation. The book is fascinating reading both because Jenkins writes so well and also because he has done enough research to fill in the story with lots of detail. By the end of the book you'll be on the edge of your seat following Cody's incredible exploits. You'll also come away with a real feel for the dangerous and exhilirating world of aviation in those first few years of it's existence. It's a shame Cody and the other very early kite-to-airplane pioneers have been so overshadowed by the aviators who survived into the 20's.
