Summary

"In his [Colonel Cody] years he worked the same cattle trails as Buffalo Bill, played the same Dodge City roulette tables as Wyatt Earp, and competed with the legendary Annie Oakley for the title of King of the Wild West Sharpshooters. After taking his Wild West act to Europe, Cody became a passionate kite-builder and flyer, fashioning many of the earliest man-carrying kites, breaking aeronautical records, and at the apex of his career, inventing a vast airplane dubbed "the Flying Cathedral." With it, Cody went on to become the first man to fly in Britain." -- Jacket
