Boyne (February 2, 1929 January 9, 2020) was a United States Air Force officer, Command Pilot, combat veteran, historian, and author of more than 50 books and over 1,000 magazine articles. He was a director of the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution and a Chairman of the National Aeronautic Association. On December 19, 1952, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force. Boyne was a member of the 330th Bomb Squadron of the 93rd Bomb Wing. Boyne returned to active flying as a nuclear test pilot with the 4925th Nuclear Test Group at Kirtland Air Force Base. While at Kirtland, he became an aircraft commander in both the B-47 and B-52 Stratofortress. Boyne began his writing career in 1962. He chose to write about lesser-known people and airplanes starting with an article on the Curtiss P-36. The P-36 aircraft resides in the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson AFB near Dayton, Ohio. The names Wilbur and Orville Wright stand out in history as the inventors of the airplane, but lost in history are those who in the closing years of the nineteenth century and the first years of the twentieth shared the same passion: to develop the first powered aircraft. Some spent entire lives and fortunes chasing the dream, including men like the embittered Augustus Herring, who'd flown a heavier than air machine for several seconds in 1898; the pompous Samuel Pierpont Langley, of the Smithsonian Institution, who was backed by the US War Department, and even the legendary American inventor Alexander Graham Bell. These men, along with European competitors such as Louis Blériot, chased what many believed to be the impossible dream of manned, powered flight. But the Wright Brothers were the first to succeed, thanks to a combination of courage, genius, and downright stubbornness! Many followed in their footsteps, including such arch-competitors as Glenn Curtiss. The Wright Brothers' father was a huge factor who dominated their lives, trying to control their every thought and action. A bishop of the United Brethren Church, Milton Wright wanted his sons to succeed in their bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio, not risk their lives. Bishop Wright saw no reason for his sons to risk everything on an isolated, windy beach in faraway North Carolina a beach called Kitty Hawk. He tried to quash their dream, but Orville and Wilbur rebelled, ultimately proving the impossible by flying on December 17, 1903. They brought the dawn of aviation, the industry that dominated the twentieth century and set the stage for the space race. Derived from a Kirkus review: The stirring story of the Wright Brothers, plus a colorful supporting cast of high-flyers during the baby-step era of aviation, entertainingly presented. These were men cast in the heroic mold, ferociously determined, some of them brilliant, all of them capable of jaw-dropping acts as they chased that aeronautical Holy Grail: the solution to the problem of "manned heavier-than-air flight." Intensely competitive, they shunned collegiality, each desperate to be history's darling. The Wright Brothers, no less driven than the rest, were clearly better behaved. Proprietors of a modestly successful bicycle business, they sort of slid sideways into flying when Wilbur's avocationbuilding a motor-driven planesuddenly flared into a passion. Orville trailed along, but both men began to think of success as a way to escape Bishop Milton Wright, their bullying, domineering fatherthe sky a place, perhaps the only place, beyond the reach of his tyranny. In 1900, Wilbur took his embryonic airship to Kitty Hawk for the first time. Three years later, the Flyer, the brothers' elegant, beautiful.…
