Читать книгу On the Wings of Love - Elizabeth Lane - Страница 10

I’m indebted to the authors who provided me with the

research needed to write this book. Most notable among

my sources were The Pioneers of Flight by Phil Scott (Princeton University Press, 1999), A Picture History of Early Aviation, 1903-1913 by Joshua Stoff (Dover Publications, 1996), Long Island, by Bernie Bookbinder (Harry N. Abrams, Inc., 1998), and Nassau County Long Island in Early Photographs by Bette S. Weidman and Linda B. Martin (Dover Publications, Inc. 1981).

Special thanks go to children’s author Linda Granfield,

who graciously helped with copyright information for

the poem “High Flight.” Her fine book, High Flight, tells the story of the poem and the young pilot who died soon after writing it.

Finally, I’d like to thank my editor, Demetria Lucas,

for her patience and wisdom in helping me transform

an unwieldy epic into a love story.
