Opis

"Pioneer of Flight, The Charlie Cyrus Story" Charlie Cyrus was fascinated with the concept of flight after he witnessed the first powered flight in history by the Wright Brothers. When the Great War breaks out in Europe in 1914, Charlie joins the Lafayette Escadrille, a squadron of American pilots. While in Paris, he meets and falls in love with Jennie Nolan, an American volunteer ambulance driver. Their love blossoms as they correspond during the war. When the Armistice is signed, Charlie flies for a short time with the Flying Circus along the east coast before heading west to marry Jennie and start his career as a design engineer. Over the decades, Charlie contributes to the momentous events of history and the explosive development of the science of flight while he and Jennie raise a family. "Pioneer of Flight, The Charlie Cyrus Story" is a tale of the extraordinary age of flight and the saga of the Cyrus family.
