Flying in the early 20th Century was dangerous business. Aircraft were made of sticks and cloth and engines failed at alarming rates. Those who flew risked both accidents and death. However, some saw this stumbling attempt to master the skies as an opportunity to bring the human race forward. They had a vision of stylish travel in the skies combining comfort, speed and profit. Such was the vision of Transcontinental Air Transport's Lindbergh Line that began the first scheduled coast-to-coast airline passenger service in 1929. Relive the adventure of that time and travel with the author as he flies what remains today of the "Lindbergh Line."

People have always wanted to fly. In the 1700s and 1800s, humans flew in lighter-than-air ships such as balloons, airships, and gliders. It was not until 1903 in North Carolina that two brothers built and flew the first heavier-than-air craft, the airplane. Of course, aviation has come a long way since then. Today's planes fly at high speeds and great heights. They quickly transport passengers, mail, cargo, and our armed forces around the world. This fully illustrated resource examines the many different breeds of airplane, the anatomy of a plane, and the exciting future of air travel.

In the following pages, Jim Ray, talented in his work of presentation and a conscientious student of aviation, presents a chain of highlights in the progress of American aeronautics. The work as a whole is directed toward a sound con�ception of the steps which have been taken in aircraft development. In so far as possible, with�out being exhaustive, Mr. Ray has portrayed the engineering advancement which underlies the structure of our swiftly developing air age. The reader who thoroughly digesta the text and illua�trationa of this book will find that it is an orderly and faithful guide. GILL ROBB WILSON .4t1ialio11 Eduor, Nftfl York Herald Tribune Director of .411iatlon Scare of New Jeney It is difficult to believe that, juat a little over thirty years ago, I was a high-school student watching the pilots at the Wright Brothers'' ex�hibition of the world''s first ftying machine. That machine weighed about eight hundred pounds. It, engine developed thirty horsepower. It ffew at the then astounding speed of forty-two milee an hour, which is equal to the landing speed of our sloweet light plane today. High-school stu�dents now are accustomed to the eight of giant airplanes whose weight ie measured in tone and whose horsepower mounts to the thousands. December, 1945, marks the forty-second an�niversary of the firat flight of an airplane. The progresa of aviation since that first ftight still 1eems unbelievable, even to one who has followed it! development closely. The purpose of this book is to trace the progre88 of aviation in America and to tell the story of the men and machines that have given this country supremacy in the air. In telling the story of American aviation from Kitty Hawk to the present day, I have been able to touch only the high spots in its dramatic prog�ress. Space limitations prevent me from giving personal credit to the hundreds of pioneer air�men, engineers, and mechanics who have con�tributed so greatly to the progree1 of American aviation. Lack of space also makes it impossible to give the complete story of the great Govern�ment research organization, the National Ad�visory Committee for Aeronautic,, whoee work hae been most fruitful in the advancement of civil and military aeronautics in the United States. As we look over the record of the astounding progress of American aviation in forty-two years, let us salute our military leaders who have visual�ized the need for air power; the men who have deejgned and built our great engines and air�planes, and the leaders of commercial aviation who have made air travel fast, safe, and eco�nomical.

Most will agree that the advances made in aviation in little more than a century are remarkable. What was once a dramatic, and often perilous, adventure has become ubiquitous and a barely acknowledged part of modern life. But in 1912, when The Boys' Book of Aeroplanes was published, only nine years had elapsed since the Wright brothers made their first flight at Kittyhawk on 7 December 1903. Although many had attempted to fly, devising plans for all manner of craft, and much success with balloons, gliders and airships had been achieved, it was in this first decade of the twentieth century that the real practical issues were confronted and overcome, and this enabled controlled, sustained, powered, heavier-than-air flight to begin.In this Vintage Words of Wisdom title, one of the earliest aeroplane books written for enthusiastic boys (but, we suspect, also having a strong appeal for the more mature reader), the authors chart the history of flight in considerable detail. From Oliver of Malmesbury in 1065 to Clement Ader, via Leonardo da Vinci, the famous and some now forgotten pioneers are given their place in the development of flight. The authors also provide a description of the sensation of flying based on their own experience and they attempt to place the reader in the pilot's seat. This is wonderfully evocative, given the risks then prevalent in these earliest of flying machines, and highlights the intrepid and pioneering characteristics required of the aviators. The science of flight is not disregarded and there is a wealth of detail on the fundamentals of how and why aircraft fly and also on the engineering and mechanics necessary to build a successful aircraft. The text is supported by numerous drawings and a wealth of period photographs that evoke the enthusiasm and demonstrate the courage of these flying trailblazers.We think The Boys' Book of Aeroplanes will appeal not just to the aviation enthusiast but also to anyone interested in the impact that aviation has had upon the world in the last hundred years. The principles outlined remain relevant today and the historical account provides a context for the development of aviation through the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The book is an authoritative tour de horizon for all things aeronautical at the dawn of powered flight.
