Lighter Than Air

An Illustrated History of Balloons and Airships

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This richly illustrated book chronicles lighter-than-air flight from Archimedes' discovery of the principle of buoyancy to plans for future airships. Far more than a timeline of events, this work focuses on the people--flamboyant and daring--who made history in the sky.
