Gossamer Odyssey by Morton Grosser

The development and flight of the first successful human-powered aircraft, the Gossamer Condor, is covered in great detail. Grosser, who was a member of both of the Gossamer teams, provides an expert account that is fully accessible to the layperson and demonstrates how the channel crossing was an incredibly challenging undertaking despite the earlier success of the Condor. The Gossamer Albatross's human-powered flight from England to France across the Channel was a triumph of both man and machine.
