You'll read the words of Orville and Wilbur Wright about their first flights. You'll read the words of Charles Lindbergh, find out how many sandwiches he took with him on his famous flight and how many he actually ate. You'll find out why the Eskimos of Barrow would say that Captain George Hubert Wilkins "knows his muktuk," and why they have called him "Anakluto." You'll learn about the earliest days of parachuting, and why it is vitally important that all commercial pilots be trained in aerobatics.If you are a boy or girl with red blood flowing in your veins (or wish you were) you're sure to enjoy this book. If you "know your muktuk" you'll see that it's a real bargain!Let this book take you back to a bygone era, when there was no limit to an aviator's dreams or the amount of bottled water he could take on an airplane!
