"Naval aviation owes a lasting debt to Eugene Ely and his employer, Glenn Curtiss. And history owes a debt to John H. Zobel for his tremendous biography of the first airman to take off from and land aboard a ship. The product of meticulous research, it unravels more than a century of myths and mysteries and provides the definitive biography of Eugene Ely amid his era." -- Barrett Tillman , author, On Wave and Wing: The 100-Year Quest to Perfect the Aircraft Carrier "One of naval aviation's earliest pioneers, Eugene B. Ely is best known for making the first shipboard aircraft takeoff and landing. Recognizing that Ely's contribution could only be appreciated in the context of aviation's growing pains prior to World War I, Zobel developed a two-part story: Ely's all-too-short but hugely impactful aviation career, and an in-depth study of his contemporary flying pioneers. Exhaustively researched, well written, and historically accurate." -- Robert O. Harder author, The Three Musketeers of the Army Air Forces: From Hitler's Fortress Europa to Hiroshima and Nagasak i "Through meticulous research and enthralling prose, Zobel captures the earliest moments of naval aviation and the competition to master flight on the eve of world war. Must-read for aviation enthusiasts and anyone looking for an authentic immersion intoEugene Ely's all-too-brief life and the "heavier-than- air" machines that transformed aviation, the U.S. Navy, and America -- forever." -- Lt. Paul M. Donofrio, USN, Ret ., Vice Chair, Bank of America "One of the most skilled and experienced fliers in Glenn Curtiss's exhibition squad, Eugene Ely was the first to take off from and land on two U.S. Navy warships in 1910 and 1911. John Zobel chronicles those remarkable achievements, among many during Ely's brief flying career, in this outstanding biography, which will stand the test of time as the definitive treatment of the man who has earned everlasting fame as a pioneer of naval aviation." -- William F. Trimble , professor emeritus at Auburn University, author of Hero of the Air: Glenn Curtiss and the Birth of Naval Aviation "From Father Thomas Smyth, the car-racing priest, to Buffalo Bill Cody, a superb set of stories within the story, soaring to one of the greatest flights in history. We celebrate Eugene's incredible feat and John H. Zobel's storytelling. A definite read!" -- Anna Jane Durr , great-granddaughter of Eugene Ely's sister Maidie, "Naval Aviation owes a lasting debt to Eugene Ely and his employer, Glenn Curtiss. And history owes a debt to John Zobel, LaVerne Woods, and Robert Coolbaugh et al for their tremendous biography of the first airman to take off from and land aboard a ship.

A must read for aviation enthusiasts and anyone looking for an authentic immersion into the earliest years of the twentieth century when Ely and 'heavier-than-air machines' captivated an awestruck, adolescent nation on the eve of a world war that transformed aviation, the U.S. Navy--and America--forever."-- Paul M. Donofrio , vice chair of Bank of America, USNA Class of 1982 "One of the most skilled and experienced fliers in Glenn Curtiss's exhibition squad, Eugene Ely was the first to take off from and land on two U.S. Navy warships in 1910 and 1911.

Paul M. Donofrio, USN, Ret ., Vice Chair, Bank of America "This is an outstanding and pathbreaking biography, and a notable contribution to the historiography of early flight and the birth of naval aviation. Eugene Ely, one of the most significant of early aviators and the first aviator to fly from a ship, and then land upon one, has not previously had his life and accomplishments placed in a well-sourced and proper context. The result is a fitting tribute both to Ely and the late Mr. Zobel." -- Dr. Richard P Hallion , Aerospace Historian "One of the most skilled and experienced fliers in Glenn Curtiss's exhibition squad, Eugene Ely was the first to take off from and land on two U.S. Navy warships in 1910 and 1911. John Zobel chronicles those remarkable achievements, among many during Ely's brief flying career, in this outstanding biography, which will stand the test of time as the definitive treatment of the man who has earned everlasting fame as a pioneer of naval aviation." -- William F. Trimble , professor emeritus at Auburn University, author of Hero of the Air: Glenn Curtiss and the Birth of Naval Aviation "Many, if they know Eugene Ely's name at all, only associate him with his flights from and then to Navy ships. Zobel's biography fleshes out this man, putting his life in context with his time (and the technology of his time), his colleagues and competitors, and his various employers. Zoebel shows us the turbulent beginnings of the U.S. aircraft industry through Ely's experiences with it." -- Dr. Laurence M. Burke II, Aviation Curator, National Museum of the Marine Corps and author of At the Dawn of Airpower: The U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps' Approach to the Airplane, 1907-1917 "From Father Thomas Smyth, the car-racing priest, to Buffalo Bill Cody, a superb set of stories within the story, soaring to one of the greatest flights in history. We celebrate Eugene's incredible feat and John H. Zobel's storytelling. A definite read!" -- Anna Jane Durr , great-granddaughter of Eugene Ely's sister Maidie
