Throughout 100-plus years of flight, Purdue University has
propelled unique contributions from pioneer educators, aviators,
and engineers who flew balloons into the stratosphere, barnstormed
the countryside, helped break the sound barrier, and left
footprints in lunar soil. Wings of Their Dreams follows the flight
plans and footsteps of aviation's pioneers and trailblazers across
the twentieth century, a path from Kitty Hawk to the Sea of
Tranquility and beyond. The book reminds readers that the first and
last men to land on the moon first trekked across the West
Lafayette, Indiana, campus on their journeys into the heavens and
history. This is the story of an aeronautic odyssey of imagination,
science, engineering, technology, adventure, courage, danger, and
promise. It is the story of the human spirit taking flight,
entwined with Purdue's legacy in aviation's history.
