Aerial life : spaces, mobilities, affects

Auteur :
ADEY, P.

Description :
Through a series of international case studies, the author traces the history of aviation over the past century, showing how early promises of flight, symbolized and performed in spectacular air shows, evolved into the devastating bombing campaigns of the Second World War and the rise of international terrorism. The book offers historical evidence and new information about how the social and material spaces of the aeroplane are considered in the modern era. - (HC)
