Book Reviews of Flight in America: From the Wrights to the Astronauts
Book Review: great book, poorly constructed
Summary: 4 Stars
this is a great book for any aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The book starts off with the ornithopter and ends in space travel/missels, with complete detail. the author does a great job of explaining political, military and economic impacts on the aviation industry. The only bad part is im on the 3rd chapter and the book is practically falling apart and i bought it new.
