博客來The Man Who Taught the World to Fly
The story of human flight doesn’t begin at Kitty Hawk, but in a quiet corner of Yorkshire with a gentleman of science. For centuries, the dream of soaring through the skies was a fantasy, a problem no one could solve. Then came Sir George Cayley.
This book tells the story of the visionary who didn’t just invent a flying machine-he invented the very science of aviation. From his legendary silver disc that defined the four forces of flight to his groundbreaking glider designs, Cayley transformed an impossible dream into a solvable engineering problem.
Explore the life of this forgotten genius: his diverse inventions, his quiet public life, and the profound legacy that shaped the Wright brothers’ historic achievement. The Man Who Taught the World to Fly is a tribute to the pioneer whose methodical inquiry and brilliant mind laid the foundation for every aircraft that has ever taken to the skies.
