Air path. The book about aircraft is easier and harder than air. Sikorsky I.

The name of the aircraft designer Igor Sikorsky is widely known to all lovers of history. This book is unique. Sikorsky finished it already in exile, but for many years the manuscript was dusting in obscurity in one of the Parisian archives. Only in the nineties it was found and published in the New York emigrant publishing house. Now we represent her attention of readers.

In this book, I. Sikorsky shares his thoughts: briefly analyzes the history of the development of aeronautics, recalls his first steps in the field of construction of aircraft heavier than air and predicts how it will be, in his opinion , develop aviation. Of particular interest is the comparison of his foresight with how the path to the sky was actually paved.
