In this beguiling history - ranging from the first aircraft to astronauts and beyond - David Darling tells the stories of the true-life adventurers whose wonder has translated into bizarre contraptions, magnificent achievements, and, sometimes, startling folly. Readers will discover outrageous attempts to fly like a bird and fall from the edge of space, as well as meet Napoleonic ballooniste Sophie Blanchard and her daredevil husband, the real "X-Men” who flew the supersonic experimental "X-planes” for the U.S. Air Force
