Flights of Inspiration
ISBN: 9781438952239 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed by so many to so few." Sir Winston Churchill's homage to the pilots of the Battle of Britain could just have easily applied to "the other few" men like Brabazon, Rolls, Sopwith, Grace, and McClean, who inspired Britain to take to the skies by their exploits on and from the Isle of Sheppey a century ago. It all began at Muswell Manor near Leysdown in May 1909, then subsequently at Eastchurch, where Churchill himself took flying lessons. This is the story of those intrepid aviation pioneers, coupled with personal memories of life in...

From Birdwomen to Skygirls: American Girls' Aviation Stories
ISBN: 9780875653976 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Close on the heels of the American public's early enthusiasm over the airplane came aviation stories for the young. From 1910 until the early 1960s, they exalted flight and painted the airplane as the most modern and adventuresome of machines. Most of the books were directed at boys; however, a substantial number sought a girls' audience. Erisman's account of several aviation series and other aviation books for girls fills a gap in the history and criticism of American popular culture. It examines the stories of girls who took to the sky, of the sources where authors found their inspiration,...
