Higher, Steeper, Faster
Higher, Steeper, Faster: The Daredevils Who Conquered the Skies | Lawrence Goldstone
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Discover the daring aviation pioneers who made the dream of powered flight a reality, forever changing the course of history. Aviator Lincoln Beachey broke countless records: he looped-the-loop, flew upside down and in corkscrews, and was the first to pull his aircraft out of what was a typically fatal tailspin. As Beachey and other aviators took to the skies in death-defying acts in the early twentieth century, these innovative daredevils not only wowed crowds, but also redefined the frontiers of powered flight. Higher, Steeper, Faster takes readers inside the world of the brave men and women who popularized flying through their deadly stunts and paved the way for modern aviation. With heart-stopping accounts of the action-packed race to conquer the skies, plus photographs and fascinating archival documents, this book will exhilarate readers as they fly through the pages.

Listened to the #audiobook
I knew there was more to early flight than the Wright Brothers but I didn‘t know about the races between the countries! This was fascinating. #tdscampread #bookbento #ReadingEmpowers #nonfiction
