About this title

From the Back Cover:

More than just a biography, this is also a well-documented history of the development of aviation and they key figures associated with it during the first three crucial decades of this century. Through an examination of Curtiss's dealings with people such as Alexander Graham Bell, his original partner, and Wilbur and Orville Wright, his most important rivals, Roseberry provides insight into the overall development of flight in America.

From Publishers Weekly:

Curtiss, an associate of Alexander Graham Bell and bitter enemy of the Wright brothers, achieved several notable firsts in American aviation. Roseberry ``has caught the excitement, suspense and camaraderie of the pioneer days of flying quite vividly,'' said PW. Illustrated.
