History

of

FLIGHT

BY

M.

J.

B. DAVY,

F.R.AE.S.,

KEEPER

OF

THE AERONAUTICS

COLLECTION

OF THE

SCIENCE MUSEUM

A SURVEY

OF

THE

HISTORY AND

DEVELOPMENT OF AERO-

NAUTICS

WITH

PARTICULAR

REFERENCE TO CONTEMPORARY

INFLUENCES

AND

CONDITIONS

THE

STORY

OF THE

DEVELOPMENT

OF FLYING

MACHINES

has

frequently

been

recounted, but that history

of

aeronautics

which should

include all

human

activities

relating

to flying

has never

yet been fully told.

The

period covered is

so

long

and

the

subject

so complex

that an exhaustive

survey

can

hardly be

attempted.

In

this new

volume,

the

subject

has been approached

from

the

standpoint

of

contemporary human

development

and of

the

social

and

economic background

aspects

which are

of

increasing

importance

to-day. Much

more

is given, therefore,

than

the

bare

facts and

technical

details

of the subject.
