	H-Net Review: Paul Lagasse on Aviation History
		Many of these topics have been treated separately and in greater detail by other authors--many of whom are referenced in the bibliographies--but one of this book's significant accomplishments is its placement of them in relation to each other chronologically and causally.
		Aviation enthusiasts will no doubt descend upon these like World War II dive bombers on an unsuspecting target, but the errors are comparatively few and far between, and in any case they do not undermine the book's considerable contribution to the literature.
		Nevertheless, without at least some emphasis on aviation's close relationships to the rest of science and technology, readers are in danger of coming away from the book with an artificial conception of aviation as an dissociated and isolated activity.
