Jay Spenser - Book Discussion and Signing November 5, 2008

Join author Jay Spenser for a book discussion and signings featuring his new book, The Airplane: How Ideas Gave Us Wings. In this entertaining history of the jetliner, Jay Spenser follows the flow of simple yet powerful ideas to trace aviation's challenges. He introduces us to pioneers across continents and centuries, sheds new insights on their contributions, and evokes those key moments in history when, piece by piece, such innovators as Otto Lilienthal, Igor Sikorsky, Louis Blériot, Hugo Junkers, and Jack Northrop collectively solved the puzzle of flight.
