The Great Conquest of the Skies

**The Great Conquest of the Skies** is the definitive guide to the autogiro, a unique flying machine that combines the best features of airplanes and helicopters. The autogiro was invented by Spanish engineer Juan de la Cierva in the early 20th century, and it quickly attracted the attention of the aviation world. In the 1920s and 1930s, autogiros were used for a variety of purposes, including reconnaissance, transportation, and search and rescue. Autogiros were also used in a number of sporting events, and even set several world records.

However, the autogiro’s popularity began to decline in the late 1930s, as helicopters became more widely available. Helicopters were more versatile than autogiros, and could be used for a wider range of tasks. As a result, autogiros gradually fell out of use.

Today, autogiros are still used by a small number of enthusiasts. These enthusiasts are drawn to the autogiro’s unique combination of safety, maneuverability, and low cost. Autogiros are also popular with collectors, who appreciate their historical significance.

**The Great Conquest of the Skies** is the most comprehensive book on autogiros ever written. It covers the history of the autogiro, from its invention to its decline in popularity. The book also provides a detailed description of the autogiro’s design and operation. In addition, the book includes a number of first-hand accounts from autogiro pilots and enthusiasts.

Whether you are a lifelong aviation enthusiast or simply curious about this fascinating flying machine, **The Great Conquest of the Skies** is the perfect book for you.
