Between Kittyhawk and the Moon: Memoirs of an Aviation Pioneer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"Between Kittyhawk and the Moon" was a fascinating view into the history of aviation. It tells the personal side of what one man accomplished in history. It has made me appreciate flying everytime I'm in a plane - which is frequently. This book belongs in every high school, university, library, aviation school and flight museum's bookstore. Anyone who enjoys flying or wants to learn to fly should read this book to see how it all began - it's much more than just the Wright Brothers. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found it a page turner. I'm thankful this history has been saved.
