Nothing like picking up a book because the title sounded intriguing and then being pleasantly surprised by what it had to teach you. The history of flight that I thought I knew had missing pieces I never knew existed until this biography. It takes a bit to absorb the details, but ultimately worth the time to read if you are interested in historical accounts that were important during their time and yet have become relatively unknown among most people.

At least as good as The Man Who Loved Only Numbers, which I loved. Quite informative, (and comprehensive) and it will certainly make you wish for your own personal air ship.
