As The Basis Of Aviation
by Otto Lilienthal
One of the most important books on aviation ever published, this is
the work of a creative genius whose observation, analysis, ingenuity and
daring laid the foundation for the development of aviation. After a comprehensive
scientific study of how birds fly, Lilienthal recognized the superiority
of curved wing surfaces. He then developed a theory of flight and designed
and built a series of gliders. From 1891 to 1896 Lilienthal made over 2,000
flights. Amazon.com
