It shows how the evolution of aeroplanes, which led to their use as weapons of war, is now being reversed, with aeroplanes being adapted for humanitarian and commercial use. The author traces the development of the technology and innovations that have accompanied the evolution of the aeroplane, showing how the early pioneers built on each other's knowledge and pushed the boundaries of what was possible. The author also provides insights into the broader historical context in which these advances took place, such as the role of the Wright Brothers in World War II. Full of detail on the mechanics of flight and the history of the aeroplane's development, this book will appeal to anyone with an interest in aviation or the history of technology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
