VASSILY VASILYEVICH (WILHELM) CRESS [pp. 102-108]
FYODOR ROMANOVICH GESCHWEND [pp. 108-112]
DMITRY KONSTANTINOVICH CHERNOV [pp. 112-116]
PAVEL DMITRIEVICH KUZMINSKY [pp. 116-120]
STEPAN KARLOVITCH DZHEVETSKY [pp. 120-126]
ALEXANDER NIKOLAEVICH LODYGIN [pp. 126-136]
SERGEY SERGEYEVICH NEZHDANOVSKY [pp. 136-146]
EUGENY STEPANOVICH FYODOROV [pp. 146-160]

The huge amount of aviation thoughts, projects and concepts throughout the (higher) russian society in Zarist times is astonishing. It seems that most of the leading intellectuals and military had something to say about "flying" and "aviation". The book starts with Lomonossov. This polymath had many thougts about flying, aeronautics and the atmosphere. He even designed a helicopter (a replica o fit can be seen in the national museum). Lomonosov, while developing scientific meteorology, he was also laying the foundations of aerodynamics, which did not emerge as a science until the late 19th century. In 1759, in a speech delivered at the Academy of Sciences and printed in the fifth volume of his collected works, he said: "I have noticed and concluded in the atmosphere of waves, which according to the above-stated theory in the great fluid bodies around the globe should be“ [p. 9].
The chapters about Kress/Cress and Geschwend will certainly attract european (and especially german) readers: here Udalov wrigths about the germna-russian cooperation of the engineer Wilhelm Kress and Fedor Geschwendt. See on Kress: https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/th...ed-heavier-than-air-vehicle.4854/#post-550054
On these two examples the exchange of ideas and knowledge between 17th/19th century russia and german and western-europe can be seen very well.
In the chapter about the famous Mozhaisky the influence on french C. Ader can be traced.
I highly recommend that book! And I´m looking forward to the following volumes. Vol. 2 will cover the prewar time between 1907-1914 and will be devoted to Gakkel-aircrafts. Afaik the series will continue until the 1938 timespan.
The best way to purchase this book is to contact the author [ucon] directly.
Cheers! Athpilot
