Nuts and Bolts

May we never cease showering praise upon those who pioneered in human flight in the same way that we ought not cease showering praise upon those who pioneer in space. In both cases there were magnificient men who dreamed magnificient dreams that became magnificient machines. Even today it continues. Hayward writes about a portion of that story. He writes about the machines used by those who made the earliest attempts at flying. This is a nuts and bolts book. The reader is led to the land of what kind of motor was used on what kind of flyinging machine. Etc. Etc. If the reader wants to hear about the stories of the development of the flying machines, the reader would want to choose another book. This book is about nuts and bolts.
