"William Langewiesche tells us how flight happens - what the pilot sees, thinks, and feels. His description is not merely about speed and conquest. It takes the form of a deliberate climb, leading at low altitude first over a new view of a home, and then higher, into the solitude of the cockpit, through violent storms and ocean nights, and on to unexpected places in the mind."--BOOK JACKET.

"In Langewiesche's hands it becomes clear, at the close of this first century of flight, how profoundly our vision has been altered by our liberation from the ground. And we understand how, when we look around, we may find ourselves reflected in the grace and turbulence of a human sky."--BOOK JACKET.

Excerpts

AFTER A CENTURY OF FLYING, we still live at a moment of emergence like that experienced by creatures first escaping from the sea.
