About This Item
Forge; Tom Doherty, New York, 2003. Royal octavo, hardcover, fine in near fine blue pictorial dj. First edition/2nd printing. 400 pages; The names Wilbur and Orville Wright stand out in history as the inventors of the airplane, but lost in history are those who in the closing years of the nineteenth century and the first years of the twentieth shared the same passion: to develop the first powered aircraft. Some spent entire lives and fortunes chasing the dream, including men like the embittered Augustus Herring, who'd flown a heavier than air machine for several seconds in 1898
