Glenn Curtiss (1878-1930) was a self-taught aeronautical engineer, a self--made industrialist, and one of the first airplane pilots, the model for "Tom Swift." C. R. Roseberry's biography begins with Curtiss's years in
Hammondsport, New York, his experiments with designing and learning to fly his own airplanes, and his many "firsts" in aviation history. Establishing one of the first aviation schools, Curtiss also developed a highly successful aviation company and designed one of the most popular early American planes--the Curtiss JN-4 (the "Jenny").

More than just a biography, this is also a well-documented history of the development of aviation and the key figures associated with it during the first three crucial decades of this century. Through an examination of Curtiss's dealings with people such as Alexander Graham Bell, his original partner, and Wilbur and Orville Wright, his most important rivals, Roseberry provides insight into the overall development of flight in America.

Aviation enthusiasts, historians, those interested in American technology and industry, and all who enjoy a good story will welcome this book.

Good for skiing or boating
Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Works great to slather on my kids face before skiing or boat ride. It is thick but rubs in pretty clear. Doesn’t leave a residue.

Great small size and lasting sun protection
Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Love the small stick... have been using it for month and with my sensitive, light skin it always provides protection. You do have to reapply it as necessary - I am outside all day working at kayak shop and sweating. It stays on but reapply every couple hours. Been waiting for something this size and convenient and effective
