In 1957, a boy cleaning out his grandmother's barn in East Tennessee discovers the discarded correspondence of aviation's forgotten pioneer. They were the letters of Edward Huffaker - written to Samuel Langley, Octave Chanute, and other early aviation scientists. It seems that he had discovered the secrets of how birds fly years before any of the distinguished researchers. These rare letters and unseen photos are reproduced in this work in time for the centennial celebration of flight in December 2003.
