Colonel Cody and the Flying Cathedral: The Adventures of the Cowboy Who Conquered the Sky

"Colonel Cody and the Flying Cathedral" is the fascinating and bizarre history of Samuel Franklin Cody, who in his early years worked the same cattle trails as Buffalo Bill and played the same Dodge City roulette tables as Wyatt Earp. But his later life took a startling turn. While performing in England, Cody became a passionate kite-builder and flyer, and at the apex of his career, fashioned a vast airplane dubbed "The Flying Cathedral", and with it went on to become the first man to fly in England.Jenkins, Garry is the author of 'Colonel Cody and the Flying Cathedral: The Adventures of the Cowboy Who Conquered the Sky' with ISBN 9780312276935 and ISBN 0312276931.
