Books, Manuscripts
In 1916, just thirteen years after the Wright brothers' first flight, a group of 28 college students decided to try the sport of motorized flight and formed a campus flying club. Most were just teenagers, but they were also the sons of America's early 20th century aristocracy. This book presents their story.
