Abstract

With this book, Simine Short has done us all a great service. Locomotive to Aeromotive is a well written, serious work with an attention to detail that will appeal to historians. It’s a good read for nonspecialists as well. Although she doesn’t say it in so many words, one thing comes through quite clearly: Octave Chanute was a guy we all would liked to have met
