Product Review
"This bookis absolutely distinctive in its style, quality of reproduction and contributions" -- Air & Space MagazineMay, 2003 Reviewer: Walter Boyne, founder of Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum
Product Description
"Flight by machines heavier than air is unpractical and insignificant, if not utterly impossible." - Simon Newcomb 1902
"We do not consider that aeroplanes will be of any use for war purposes." - The British Secretary of State for War 1910
"In the opinion of competent experts, it is idle to look for a commercial future for the flying machine" - WJ Jackman and Thomas Russell, 1910
Museum of Flight, 100 Years of Aviation History commemorates just how wrong predictors can be in a beautiful coffeetable format with extensive photography showcasing the museum's fabulous collection. The DVD, narrated by John Cullum (actor Northern Exposure) is exclusive and originally created by Boeing to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the B29 Superfortress.
Contributors range from Richard Bach (pilot and author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull), Alan Mulally (CEO Boeing Commercial Aircraft), Buzz Aldrin, Pinky Nelson and Bill Anders (astronauts Apoolo 11, 13 and space shuttle Challenger)in honoring the 100th Anniversary of flight. Without a doubt this book proves that a good idea is worth following. No matter the opposition!
