Flying Machines: construction and operation; a practical book which shows, in illustrations, working plans and text, how to build and navigate the modern airship
Octave Chanute was a railway engineer and aviation pioneer. He helped brothers Wright to advertise their flying experiments. He devoted his life to aviation. In 1893 Chanute organized a very successful International Conference on Aerial Navigation. Chanute was the first to invent "strut-wire" braced wing structure that would be used in powered biplanes of the future. Chanute communicated with many aviation pioneers, always seeking for new information. “Flying machines: construction and operation…” is the perfect work on building and navigating airships. The book contains a lot of descriptive illustrations and detailed explanations.
