From Wax Wings to Flying Drones: A Very Unreliable History of Aviation

English

By (author): Norman Ferguson

Was Keith Harriss Orville really named after the first-ever flyer?

Why did Richard Branson try to cross the Atlantic in a balloon when he owned an airline?

These are the questions that fail to keep proper
aeronautical historians awake but no matter, From Wax Wings to Flying Drones
is here to answer them. Chock-full of important stuff like planes, pilots and
pioneers such as the Wright brothers, Amelia Earhart and that man off the telly
who used to fly on Concorde, this is a book for everyone whos ever watched a
plane in the sky and thought, I wonder what its registration is?
