History buffs are in for a ride above the sky as renowned author Norman Currey, an expert in the field of aviation, brings an impressive and concise history of modern aviation in “Airplane Stories and Histories” – from the Wright Brothers’ biplane to the Northrop Grumman B2.
Currey’s about 50 years in the aircraft industry fueled the book to bring significant and insightful information in aviation, including his involvement in test flying and his experiences of viewing the tops of gorgeous clouds and snow-covered mountains. As a seasoned aviation expert, he successfully takes readers on a fascinating journey through the skies, recounting the triumphs and challenges faced by the industry’s pioneers.
Currey starts with Sir George Cayley, the father of aviation and the inventor of the caterpillar tractor used in tanks in World War I. Afterward, Currey talks about Wright Brothers, who invented the first airplane that could be controlled by the pilot. He also covers other big names, including Amelia Earhart, Wiley Post, and Charles Lindbergh. The book continuously hooks readers through photographs, illustrations, and schematics of all the aircraft mentioned.
Throughout the reading, Currey is able to concoct an impressive balance between technical information and compelling storytelling, making the book an entertaining read for both aviation enthusiasts and casual readers alike. It is also perfect for those interested in the occasional media announcement concerning new kinds of aircraft in today’s headline-developing warfare.
Currey graduated as an aeronautical engineer in 1948 and became a stress engineer on the de Havilland Comet. Afterward, he traveled to Canada to help design the Jetliner and Arrow and then spent about three decades at Lockheed, where he worked in the C-130 JetStar and C-5.
In a review on Amazon, Ito lauded Currey for providing an incredible platform for readers to immerse themselves in his experiences throughout the decades.
“I was aware of the Wright Brothers, but did not know about Sir George Cayley (“The Father of Aerial Navigation,” “Father of Aviation,” and “The true inventor of the aeroplane…”). But thanks to this book I know more about both of them,” wrote Ito in a review.
Danielle N., another reader, described “Airplane Stories and Histories” as a fascinating and informative collection of tales that chronicles the evolution of aviation.
