By: Otto Lilienthal |
Reviewed as one of the most important books ever published. After studying how birds fly, Lilienthal recognized the superiority of curved winged surfaces, then developed a theory of flight. He was killed in a fatal gliding accident in 1896. The Wright Brothers considered him their hero and became inspired to investigate the problem of human flight, as they invented the airplane.
