Description
Manned aviation started in Britain in 1784, with the first fatal accident taking place only two years later. Since that time, aviation developments have led to faster, higher, and bigger aircraft, unimaginable to the original pioneers.
Flying became an everyday activity but with developments in technology, came a high numbers of crashes. Air accident investigations had to be developed and improved to keep pace.
First published as God Gave Us Wings, the British Civil Air Aircraft Record details every such recorded accident, its investigation, and the lessons learned. It draws on official documents and contemporary accounts. Copiously illustrated with photographs from the time, the series is the most comprehensive work covering this vital aspect of aviation history. Volume 1 covers the earliest years, from the start of manned balloon flights to the outbreak of the Great War in 1914.
