Description
“The dream of flight is as old as the mind of man.”
So begins Robert Jackson’s incredible book on the history of helicopters.
It is an epic tale that begins in the 4th Century B.C. and travels to ancient Greek physicists and great men like Da Vinci. Dreams of fantastical flying creations that either soared magnificently or crashed to the ground. Their designs evolved until, centuries later, the helicopter's potential was recognised by the military.
In combat, the helicopter's story goes from the early dreams of flight to daring searches and rescue missions.
Complex and compelling, The Dragonflies explores man’s relationship with flight in an extraordinary way.
