Skyward

Man's Mastery of the Air

Beschreibung

Skyward is as much the memoir of great American explorer Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Jr. as it is a fascinating narrative of America’s early aviation history, much of which Byrd shaped with his explorations as a naval pilot and pioneering scientist. Byrd’s outsized ambition has inspired generations to dare to push technological limits in order to achieve things greater than themselves.
