Wings: A History of Aviation from Kites to the Space AgeThe invention of the airplane ushered in the modern age a new era of global commerce, revolutionary technologies, and total war. Whatever the practical consequences, the sheer exhilaration of flight captured the imagination. No longer bound to the surface of the earth, humans took the first steps on a journey that would eventually carry them to other worlds. Tom Crouch weaves the people, machines, and ideas of the air age into a compelling narrative.
The invention of the airplane ushered in the modern age--a new era of global commerce, revolutionary technologies, and total war. Whatever the practical consequences, the sheer exhilaration of flight captured the imagination. No longer bound to the surface of the earth, humans took the first steps on a journey that would eventually carry them to other worlds. Tom Crouch weaves the people, machines, and ideas of the air age into a compelling narrative. He tells how the enthusiasm of amateurs spawned an industry that determined the rise and fall of nations. Yet this is not a tale of unalloyed progress. Moments of exaltation were tempered by bitter disappointment and stark terror. Blind alleys were the price of technical progress. In the end, there is no more fascinating cast of characters than those who wrote history in the sky. Theirs is a fascinating story of realizing an extraordinary dream and riding it.Binding Type: Paperback

As far as punk rock inspired shirts go this one is
Color: Off White&black, Size: XX-Large
The shirt looks nice but the material isn't what it looks like in the picture. It's actually kind of thick, almost like a weaved cotton pattern, if that makes sense. I got it during a heatwave, couldn't wear it. But if you're looking for a decent fall weather t-shirt, well worth the grab.
