Travel Through the Mind-Blowing Aeronautical History
“Airplane Stories and Histories” Compiles Two Centuries of Aeronautic Breakthroughs
Remember the first time you rode an airplane. Isn’t it amazing to experience such thrill and excitement? But little did we know that it actually took so many years to make it possible for passengers to fly safely from one country to another. And the valiant men and women behind it are not only worthy of appreciation and honor, but there is so much more to know and learn about them.
It is noteworthy to say that through collaborative efforts and extreme education, experimentation, and labor of the people behind the aeronautics industry, it is now easier and safer to fly across the world. The history and stories of the aeronautics industry is worth re-telling.
This is why a new book “Airplane Stories and Histories” deserves so much attention. It does not only tell the major histories of the industry itself, it tells stories of the amazing men and women who served as icons in the industry of aeronautics in the world
Written by author Norman Currey, the book chronicles two hundred years of aviation highlights including the exploits of pioneers such as Sir George Cayley, the Wright brothers, Charles Lindbergh, Wiley Post, Amelia Earheart, R. J. Mitchell, Sir Geoffrey de Havilland, Allan Loughead, Frank Whittle, and Kelly Johnson.
Notable events and developments are discussed – the first Atlantic flights, World War airplanes, jet engine development and post-war designs. It concludes with a discussion of new designs that will surely spark the interest of readers.
“I want to tell these stories so that more and more people will gain appreciation of the aeronautics industry, and who knows – there will be more young people who will take the steps of our forefathers in the industry,” says Currey.
