About

Lovely thoughtful book about the history, challenges & magic of flying, the sky and the wind. Fifty years ago a machine that man could actively propel through the air was unheard of. Today men ride the skies confidently at beyond the speed of sound and invent rockets with which to pioneer into outer space. Song of the Sky is in part a deeply informed and thrilling account of how man has done these things.

Himself an aviator and navigation officer, Murchie deals with many matters of aerodynamics and meteorology of great interest to the expert. But the appeal to the layman will be in the immense sweep of the book and the enthusiasm with which it is written.

Illustrated throughout by the author.

Remarks
