Wings: A History of Aviation from Kites to the Space AgeThe invention of the airplane ushered in the modern age a new era of global commerce, revolutionary technologies, and total war. Whatever the practical consequences, the sheer exhilaration of flight captured the imagination. No longer bound to the surface of the earth, humans took the first steps on a journey that would eventually carry them to other worlds. Tom Crouch weaves the people, machines, and ideas of the air age into a compelling narrative.
The invention of the airplane ushered in the modern age--a new era of global commerce, revolutionary technologies, and total war. Whatever the practical consequences, the sheer exhilaration of flight captured the imagination. No longer bound to the surface of the earth, humans took the first steps on a journey that would eventually carry them to other worlds. Tom Crouch weaves the people, machines, and ideas of the air age into a compelling narrative. He tells how the enthusiasm of amateurs spawned an industry that determined the rise and fall of nations. Yet this is not a tale of unalloyed progress. Moments of exaltation were tempered by bitter disappointment and stark terror. Blind alleys were the price of technical progress. In the end, there is no more fascinating cast of characters than those who wrote history in the sky. Theirs is a fascinating story of realizing an extraordinary dream and riding it.Binding Type: Paperback

A fun toy
Color: Orange
Our 6 week old pup is having a blast with this toy. It resembles a dying bird, so don't get it if that bothers you. It tweets and spins and flops with 3 different settings. Rechargeable is a bonus. The rope may not last long, but it is replaceable with paracord. Well worth the $10.

Choose another option
Color: Blue
Im glad i didnt buy this at full price. Fully charged and I kept having to charge it everyday, sometimes 2xs a day. The rope and loop is sturdy enough to last through his incessant chewing and now he just tosses it around n bops it with his nose. 3 functions were cool. I just wish this stayed charged for longer periods. I bought this as his crate toy vs eating his bed lol it was fun while it lasted

Worked like it should, but scared my dog and he ate the rubber. Had it out of the box for less than an hour.

Great interactive toy
Color: Blue
I give this 5 stars because I have no issues at all. We've had it for 3 months and still going strong. Battery lasts a few days. It has 3 different settings and goes to sleep after 5 minutes so I just open it up and turn it on again. I charge it on my android charger. Charges really fast. My dog (pomeranian) loves the ropes and she gets an enormous amount of exercise from it when I can't take her out for a walk.
