Accounts range from the first aerial marriage performed aloft in a balloon of the last century, to excerpts from the journals of Wilber and Orville Wright, to the hair-raising exploits of early pilots of the barn-storming days. It's all here through two world wars, Korea and Vietnam, to that golden moment when the world watched two astronauts step onto the moon. For the uninitiated, Skywriting will open the door to the marvelous world of aviation literature. Long-time aviation enthusiasts will find it riveting armchair reading with an interesting blend of lesser-known writers and familiar heros. All will discover Skywriting to be more than a collection of anecdotes. They will find it a chronicle of man's struggle to overcome the two greatest obstacles of the last century; the sky and himself."
