History
of
FLIGHT
BY
M.
J.
B. DAVY,
F.R.AE.S.,
KEEPER
OF
THE AERONAUTICS
COLLECTION
OF THE
SCIENCE MUSEUM
A SURVEY
OF
THE
HISTORY AND
DEVELOPMENT OF AERO-
NAUTICS
WITH
PARTICULAR
REFERENCE TO CONTEMPORARY
INFLUENCES
AND
CONDITIONS
THE
STORY
OF THE
DEVELOPMENT
OF FLYING
MACHINES
has
frequently
been
recounted, but that history
of
aeronautics
which should
include all
human
activities
relating
to flying
has never
yet been fully told.
The
period covered is
so
long
and
the
subject
so complex
that an exhaustive
survey
can
hardly be
attempted.
In
this new
volume,
the
subject
has been approached
from
the
standpoint
of
contemporary human
development
and of
the
social
and
economic background
aspects
which are
of
increasing
importance
to-day. Much
more
is given, therefore,
than
the
bare
facts and
technical
details
of the subject.
