About This Item
From the d.j. flap: "Alexander Graham Bell is known chiefly as the inventor of the telepohone, but his contributions to aerial flight and hydrofoil craft, although less widely known, were of great importance. In this book Dr. Parkin presents a detailed chronicle of the fascinating experiments in aerial flight and with hydrofoil craft conducted by Dr. Bell and his engineering assistant and collaborator, Frederick Walker (Casey) Baldwin. Bell was the Chairman and Baldwin the Chief Engineer of the Aerial Experiment Association (1907-1909), a group founded, inspired and financed by Mrs. Bell: the successes of the Association, it will be seen, were based largely on logical, step-by-step development under the guiding genius of Dr. Bell."
