Wings: A History of Aviation from Kites to the Space AgeThe invention of the airplane ushered in the modern age a new era of global commerce, revolutionary technologies, and total war. Whatever the practical consequences, the sheer exhilaration of flight captured the imagination. No longer bound to the surface of the earth, humans took the first steps on a journey that would eventually carry them to other worlds. Tom Crouch weaves the people, machines, and ideas of the air age into a compelling narrative.
The invention of the airplane ushered in the modern age--a new era of global commerce, revolutionary technologies, and total war. Whatever the practical consequences, the sheer exhilaration of flight captured the imagination. No longer bound to the surface of the earth, humans took the first steps on a journey that would eventually carry them to other worlds. Tom Crouch weaves the people, machines, and ideas of the air age into a compelling narrative. He tells how the enthusiasm of amateurs spawned an industry that determined the rise and fall of nations. Yet this is not a tale of unalloyed progress. Moments of exaltation were tempered by bitter disappointment and stark terror. Blind alleys were the price of technical progress. In the end, there is no more fascinating cast of characters than those who wrote history in the sky. Theirs is a fascinating story of realizing an extraordinary dream and riding it.Binding Type: Paperback

Great Toy!
Color: Tropical Pack
These are great! I bought last Christmas for our pup- a 17 lb Aussie doodle. She’s pretty rough on toys. Usually pulls the stuffing right out in a few days. But these have lasted all year. Came back to buy her 2 new “flavors” to put under the tree.

Cute toy, not a loud squeak
Color: Original Pack
The toy is a good size for medium to large dogs. It's very hard to squeak it but it's fairly durable and super quirky!
