Overview

They laughed at his ideas of heavier-than-air flying machines. But he had the last laugh with the Albatross--the most incredible flying machine ever built.

The Wildside Press edition contains a newly revised version of the first English-language translation. (Revisions by Dainis Bisenieks and John Gregory Betancourt.)
