Synopsis
Samuel Cody grew up on the western frontier, a true American cowboy. With nerves of steel and dauntless courage, he would be one of the first to cross another frontier: the frontier of flight. As a young boy Samuel Cody was fascinated with kites. Living in England years later, Cody created the first kites strong and big enough to carry a man high into the air. Like the Wrights and other early aviators, Cody was determined to build an airplane. He faced not only the technological hurdles of his day, but the apathy of the British military. Against these obstacles, Cody used his ingenuity, his skill, and a great deal of daring to create England's first airplane in 1908. His is an inspirational story of American willpower and determination. From the Hardcover edition., Samuel Cody grew up on the western frontier, a true American cowboy.

    Item arrived as described was a little concerned with the cost of the packaging as I had ordered a different cup. It was actually much heavier, the cobalt blue one and the price for shipping was less. Otherwise, the item arrived as described and in a timely manner thank you

    Absolutely the best seller and fantastic to work with. This was as exactly as advertised. The communication was excellent and the packaging was extremely good for the item. This seller went over and above with what I purchased and the container that the medallion was in was excellent. I highly recommend this seller. I hope we can do business again in the future. Thank you
