Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The first book-length pictorial review of aviation history told through its most creative disasters, The Wrong Stuff? is published in association with the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. It is published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of manned-flight. The Wrong Stuff? is different from other books on flight, in that it focuses on the PRE-history of flight.

The Wrong Stuff? includes biographical sidebars on the inventors, and contains over 300 archival images, including many never-before-published photos and illustrations. The book looks also at bizarre attempts at flight after the Wright brothers, giving an eye-catching new slant on a major anniversary.
