From man's earliest expressions on the magic of flying to the chilling last words of some of aviation's giants, here's an utterly unique collection of 1,000 of the most memorable thoughts on flight down through the ages. Concisely capturing flying's special allure and excitement as well as its humor and tragedy, this power-packed anthology of quotations by Leonardo da Vinci, Lindbergh, Armstrong, Yeager, and hundreds of others amply illustrates why, as aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal rhapsodized, "To fly is everything.”
There is a passion in flying that eludes the understanding of those of us outside the experience. Through the ages however, fliers have attempted to capture in words the magic and emotion flight evokes. This book is a collection of the most compelling remarks made about flying. It highlights the drama, the excitement, the allure, the achievements, the failures, and the future of flight in a book everyone will want to own and share with others.
