Book Description
Review A great selection of quotations on flight arranged in 14 chapters, that will serve as good reading for the soul as well as provide a resource of printed wisdom that pretty much covers the entire spectrum of aviation to date ... Thoughtful
sayings, cliches, last words, cockpit humor -- it's all here, nicely printed, neatly arranged, and ready for use.
Product Description: 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."
