Eso no estaba en mi libro de historia de la aviación (book in Spanish) offers a different take on major milestones in aviation. Through curious anecdotes, lesser-known episodes, and surprising characters, this book complements the official narrative with facts rarely found in traditional textbooks. Ideal for those seeking to understand the development of aviation from a well-documented and engaging perspective.
Did you know the Wright brothers' first flight lasted just twelve seconds and covered only 120 feet? Or that the famous Concorde could fly at more than twice the speed of sound? And what about the story behind the Concordski? The dream of flying has been a constant in human history. From the legend of Icarus and Daedalus to Da Vinci’s inventions and finally the Wright brothers’ success in flying a controlled airplane, the journey has been long and full of unique attempts: like the pilot who landed a passenger plane on a river without a single casualty, or the story of the first woman to earn a pilot's license and her role in aviation history.
This book brings to life remarkable achievements in kites, balloons, helicopters, gliders, light aircraft, airplanes, and rockets. Names like Alberto Santos Dumont, the Red Baron, Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, and Charles “Chuck” E. Yeager are forever written in the sky. Written by two experienced pilots with thousands of flight hours, these pages explore little-known episodes of mankind's efforts to imitate birds and conquer the skies—from the first hot air balloons to supersonic jets.
