Summary

Discover the daring aviation pioneers who made the dream of powered flight a reality, forever changing the course of history. Aviator  Lincoln Beachey broke countless records: he looped-the-loop, flew  upside down and in corkscrews, and was the first to pull his aircraft  out of what was a typically fatal tailspin. As Beachey and other  aviators took to the skies in death-defying acts in the early twentieth  century, these innovative daredevils not only wowed crowds, but also  redefined the frontiers of powered flight. Higher, Steeper, Faster takes  listeners inside the world of the brave men and women who popularized  flying through their deadly stunts and paved the way for modern  aviation. With heart-stopping accounts of the action-packed race to  conquer the skies,  this book will exhilarate listeners as they fly through the history.
