Collection: Aviation
Birds do it, bees do it, but educated fleas don't. We are talking about flying: lighter than air, heavier than air, a human dream slowly realized over hundreds of years and now so ubiquitous that it almost lost its romance. The Brazilian aviation pioneer Santos-Dumont's dream crumbled when aircraft became more and more destructive in wars, and he appealed in 1926 to the League of Nations to stop the use of aircraft as weapons of war. To what avail we all know. Here is a paper trail of aviation history to take off with peacefully.
