Description
Includes bibliographical references (p. 195-203) and index. "This book provides information about the first pilots from a hundred countries. A brief biography and a description of his or her attempts to fly are provided for each early aviator (except in a very few cases where facts are hard to find). A "flight" is defined as that made by a "heavier-than-air machine capable of taking off from ground level carrying a pilot, who controls to some degree the ascent, descent and path of the machine."--book jacket.
