From the publisher: "The Me 262 was the first of its kind the first jet-powered aircraft. Although conceived before the war with the initial plans being drawn in April 1939 the Stormbird was beset with technological particularly the revolutionary engines and political difficulties resulting in it not entering combat until August 1944 with claims of nineteen downed Allied aircraft. The performance of the Me 262 so far exceeded that of Allied aircraft that on 1 Sepember 1944 USAAF General Carl Spaatz remarked that if greater numbers of German jets appeared they could inflict losses heavy enough to force cancellation of the Allied daylight bombing offensive. The story of how the Stormbird came to be is fascinating history and it comes to life in the hands of noted historian Colin Heaton. Told largely in the words of the German aces who flew it THE ME 262 STORMBIRD provides the complete history of this remarkable airplane from the drawing boards to combat in the skies over the Third Reich. Features two forewords one by Jorg Czypionka Me 262 night fighter pilot and another by historian and author Barrett Tillman.". First Printing of bthe First Edition. Hardcover.

‎(AVIATION.)‎

‎Le Conquête de l’Air‎

‎This spectacular color lithograph commemorates the Grande Semaine d'Aviation of 1909 the first international public flying event and a turning point in aviation history. The powered aircraft featured at the event dominate the center. Surrounding it are portraits of pioneering figures in flight including Wright Curtiss Latham Fournier and Blériot and vignettes from aviation history.The event held at Reims France in August 1909 attracted more than 500000 spectators to watch famous aviators compete in contests of distance altitude and speed all from the massive grandstands constructed for the event. The meeting signified a transition in the public perception of flight. Once an experimental curiosity practiced by a few it came to be seen as a viable technology with the potential for practical application.This print a supplement to Parisian newspaper Le Petit Journal highlights technological advances in aviation history. The fall of Icarus is depicted in the upper right corner next to two unrealized designs for flying machines from the 17th century. Vignettes show the various hot air balloons of the 18th century and capture the 19th-century shift to airships capable of controlled flight.At the center the collection of heavier-than-air planes flown at Reims in the early 20th century point to the transitional nature of this pioneer era. In 1903 the Wright brothers achieved a twelve-second flight in their biplane; in 1909 technology had advanced enough for Louis Blériot to cross the English Channel in a powered monoplane. The array of airplanes shown in Reims exemplified this transformational period as Wright-style flyers and propeller-led monoplanes were featured side by side. The debut of lightweight more reliable engines at Reims also indicated the advances that were to come.The Grande Semaine showed that heavier-than-air flight was proven to be a viable technology full of possibilities. The next few decades brought the first major wartime use of airplanes the invention of the jet engine and growth of commercial aviation. Within sixty years man's "conquest of the air" had extended to outer space.This is a visually stunning record of a critical moment in technological history marking the beginning of modern aviation.
