    "It's a book Leonardo da Vinci would have warmed to, a set of experiments he's have changed." -- Paul West, The Washington Post "What gives [McPhee's] writing its powerful fascination is the strange, raw quality of fact: it all really happened, just the way . . . McPhee watches so intently that the Aereon and its people become real and important to the reader." -- John Skow, Los Angeles Times "McPhee has a genius for writing about unusual people whose activities border on the eccentric, and the Aereon project abounded with them.

    Synopsis
    This is the fascinating story of the dream of a completely new aircraft, a hybrid of the plane and the rigid airship - huge, wingless, moving slowly through the lower sky. John McPhee chronicles the perhaps unfathomable perseverance of the aircraft's sucessive progenitors.
