Lighter-Than-Air: West Coast And The Dawn Of Flight By Dr. Richard J. Goodrich

About this event

Speaker:  Dr. Richard J. Goodrich, Author and historian

Based upon his new book, L.A. Birdmen, historian Richard Goodrich offers an entertaining account of the contributions of these West Coast pilots and explains why, in the first decade of the twentieth century, these men rather than the Wright Brothers were America's pilots.

 

Richard J. Goodrich (Ph.D., University of St Andrews) is an author and historian. After twenty years as a history professor in Britain and the United States, Richard resigned his teaching post to pursue a full-time writing career. His interests range from Ancient History (the Roman Empire and early Church history) to the modern age.

He is the author of Comet Madness: How the 1910 Return of Halley's Comet (Almost) Destroyed Civilization (Prometheus/Rowman and Littlefield, 2023) and the forthcoming L.A. Birdmen (Prometheus/Rowman and Littfield), which flies into bookstores on June 18, 2024.
