Conquer the Sky: Great Moments in Aviation Rabinowitz, Harold

Since the dawn of civilization, human beings have dreamed of achieving flight. By the late nineteenth century, those dreams became reality, and today the technology has enabled humans to reach for the stars. "Conquer the Sky: Great Moments in Aviation", written by a veteran science and technology editor and illustrated with more than four hundred images from renowned Bettmann Photo Archive - many of them rarely seen in print before - traces the history of human-kind's attempts to shrug off the shackles of gravity and take to the air.
