 e factors of lift\, thrust and drag which are fundamental in aircraft desi
 gn to this day and the Montgolfier brothers among others\, who spurred the

 War. Dr. Gibbons links us with past and present worlds with references to 
 the moon\, Mars and beyond.\n\nThis book motivates and has universal appea
 l. The author’s rich research and meticulous attention to detail show he
 r self professed passion “to share the beauty and extraordinariness of t
 he discovery of flight”.\n\nCome out to hear Jacqueline’s engaging pre
 sentation about her new book\, "Spread Your Wings: Icarus to 1912."\n\nBoo
