5.0 out of 5 stars "THE ONLY" engineering look at the first airplane, February 6, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: WRIGHT FLYER PB (Paperback)
I first became aware of this book while visiting the Kitty Hawk Memorial in North Carolina. There, a park service employee showed me his dog-eared copy of this precious book. Even then, it was out of print and unavailable in the memorial park's gift shop. I only had it in my hands for a few minutes, but the book contained many engineering drawings and aerodynamic data which I have not even seen at the AIR & SPACE museum in D.C. or at WRIGHT PATTERSON A.F.B. in the Airforce Museum there. I have looked for it since. A must have for any true aviation buff. Chris Rau
