More With Less: Paul MacCready and the Dream of Efficient Flight
by Paul Ciotti
Category: Biography & Autobiography

Author Paul Ciotti follows MacCready to southern California, where he entered a 1970s subculture that included hang-gliding daredevils, eccentric designers and renegade aerospace executives. Ciotti tells the story of these individuals, their passionate interactions, inspirations and failures and, perhaps most important, the love of efficiency that impelled them, under MacCready's quirky leadership, to build lightweight, low-powered machines.
