About this title: In 1909, municipal authorities built an airfield in northern Italy and invited leading pilots to compete on it. The show attracted thousands of spectators--and reporters, including Franz Kafka, Max Brod, and Luigi Barzini. Demetz's sparkling new book tells the enchanting story of what happened in the air and on the ground before, during, and after this amazing moment. Illustrations.
