Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This intriguing book describes the remarkable advances in early 20th century aviation against the backdrop of the First World War. Russia, far from being a bit-part player in the development of heavier-than-air flight, was in fact one of its key innovators. At the outbreak of the war, Russia possessed an air force on a par with that of any other nation, with large numbers of highly trained pilots and a range of aircraft designs as technically advanced as any in the world, including early giant planes. Through first-hand accounts, technical descriptions and a host of never-before-published photographs, the author takes the reader on a journey from the first steps of Russian aviation, through the foundation of the Imperial All Russia Aero Club and the Tsar's personal involvement, to the construction of the pioneering giant planes of Igor Sikorsky. This unique book is a fascinating insight into a hitherto unknown and altogether extraordinary chapter in the history of aviation.
