At 10:35 in the morning of Thursday, December 17, 1903, man got his
wings. On the sand dunes of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Orville
Wright flew the motorized aircraft he and his brother Wilbur had
constructed to a distance less than the length of the wingspan of
today's 747 jet. They made three other flights the same day, the
final lasting 59 seconds for a distance over the ground of 852
feet. The world would never be the same after that day. Mankind was
finally off the ground in powered flight. And man's experiences in
the air would forevermore join the literature of human endeavors,
to be shared by kindred spirits as well as the curious sorts who
have wanted to know, "What was it like up there?" In THE GREATEST
FLYING STORIES EVER TOLD, editor Lamar Underwood has collected some
of the finest writings, both fact and realistic fiction, to lay
bare the drama of human beings coping with the skills needed to
direct their machines through the vastness of the skies. With
contributions from: Charles Lindbergh, Ernest K. Gann, General
Chuck Yeager, Leo Janos, Tom Wolfe, Mary Lovell, Richard Bach,
Rinker Buck, Diane Ackerman, Derek Robinson, and more.
