Recenzje

"A soaring tribute to a pioneering German aviator who had a dream and the perseverance to achieve it... The author chronicles years of determined research, observation, trial and error, and crashes as Otto and younger brother Gustav work hard at attaining their goal despite skepticism from those around them." Kirkus Reviews

"Readers will marvel at Lilienthal s perseverance of his dream over the span of his life and the research he did into the flight of birds as it related to his designs.... [and] will enjoy learning about a not very well-known designer and inventor of flying machines, making this book a missing link in collections about aviation and flight." School Library Journal, starred review
