    <![CDATA[One of the most important books ever published. It's the work of a creative genius whose observation, analysis, ingenuity and daring laid the foundation for the development of aviation. After a comprehensive scientific study of how birds fly, Lilienthal recognized the superiority of curved wing surfaces. He then developed a theory of flight and designed and built a series of gliders. From 1891 to 1896 he made over 2,000 glides--bridging the gap between those who dreamed of flying and those who flew. Learning of Lilienthal's fatal gliding accident in 1896, the Wright Brothers became inspired to investigate &quot;the problem of human flight.&quot; Lilienthal had a tremendous influence on the Wrights, who considered him their hero. They carefully studied his work, developed their own theories and designs, and invented the airplane.&quot;]]>
