Description

Hardcover, nearly square oblong quarto size volume, brown cloth lettered in gold on cover and spine, in publisher’s non price-clipped dust-jacket. 176 pages. Bibliography, Index. Illustrated throughout with chiefly black and white photographs, a few in sepia photos and several color pictures. Stated first American edition, first printing with full number line. More than just another panegyric aviation biography on the Wright brothers, Culick “provides for the first time a complete explanation of the complex aerodynamic forces that lifter the first manned flight into the air — Something even the Wright brothers didn’t fully understand at the time.” No previous ownership marks. A clean, fresh, unmarked and like new copy. Dust-jacket is complete with no tears or chips and a single minute scratch lower front cover. As new in a near fine dust-jacket. Priority and International orders will require additional postage charged at actual cost.
