And the World Could Fly tells the story of how piloting for the masses became a possibility and then a reality. See how the happy conjunction of the research of NASA aerodynamicists and the determination of Australian water-ski showmen produced a hang glider anyone could fly.
Read how the parachute changed into a self-inflating wing capable soaring for hundreds of kilometres. This is a tale of a free flight in every sense of the term. Edited by Stéphane Malbos and Noel Whittall, And the World Could Fly contains contributions from many parts of the world as well as much new writing. Together, the editors have more than fifty years of undiminished enthusiasm for foot-launched flight.
And the World Could Fly is produced by the international Hang Gliding and Paragliding Commission (CIVL) to celebrate the centenary of FAI. It is a book which will appeal to anyone with an interest in free flight, whether an old-stager who has can remember the early California days or a newcomer who wonders where it all came from. By Noel Whittal.
