Description: An informative book for the aviation historian and student, but limited by its relatively small size for such a wide subject. There are also some inaccuracies (e.g. Samuel Franklin Cody was not a Texan and Elise Garnerin was probably not the first woman to make a parachute jump, which was likely to have been Jeanne Labrosse). These, however, do not detract from the book's usefulness.
