My Airships: The Story Of My Life is an autobiographical book written by Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont and originally published in 1904. The book chronicles Santos-Dumont's life, from his childhood in Brazil to his pioneering work in the field of aviation. Santos-Dumont was a key figure in the early days of aviation, and his book provides a fascinating insight into the development of air travel in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He recounts his early experiments with balloons and airships, and his eventual success with his own designs. The book also provides a glimpse into the world of high society in Paris, where Santos-Dumont spent much of his time. He was a celebrity in his own right, and his airships were the talk of the town. Overall, My Airships: The Story Of My Life is a fascinating account of one man's journey to conquer the skies. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of aviation, or in the life of one of its most important pioneers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
