The beginning of an era -- The skies over Pomerania -- From a poor student to good scholar -- Bed lodger - engineer - manufacturer -- Life goal: inventor -- From the dream of flight to aerodynamics -- From theory to flying apparatus -- 1891 - the leap into a new century -- Captured in mid-air -- Modelled after a bat - the path to serially produced aircraft -- Practical flying - training and records -- An engine - again inspired by birds -- The Fliegeberg - a real airfield -- Flying machine customers and flight students -- More difficult than anticipated: steering -- A rich idea: the biplane -- Unfinished ideas and August 9, 1896 -- To fly is everything - Lilienthal 125 years later.

"Of all the men who attacked the flying problem in the 19th century, Otto Lilienthal was easily the most important. His greatness appeared in every phase of the problem. No one equaled him in power to draw new recruits to the cause; no one equaled him in fullness and dearness of understanding of the principles of flight; no one did so much to convince the world of the advantages of curved wing surfaces; and no one did so much to transfer the problem of human flight to the open air where it belonged." These words were spoken by Wilbur Wright, who successfully accomplished the first powered flight together with his brother Orville in 1903 on the sand dunes of the Outer Banks off the coast of North Carolina. Wilbur was talking about the most important of their predecessors, Otto Lilienthal. Lilienthal attracted worldwide attention due to the spectacular photographs showing him in flight, made possible by technology that had only just been developed by him. This fortuitous union between a pioneer of aviation and the pioneers of so-called "instantaneous photography" is responsible for the immense contemporary popularity of Lilienthal's flights around the globe, the first ever free flights performed by man. This book traces the life of the German aviation pioneer, focusing on the designs of his many aircraft and the photographic documentation that has survived. The presentation ends with a remarkable research project conducted by one of the authors, right up to and including his own training exercises with Lilienthal's "normal soaring apparatus" and "large biplane". This project offered new insight into Lilienthal's work, and also led to a spectacular aerial meeting of Lilienthal's 1895 biplane and the Wright brothers' 1902 biplane at a historic location on the Outer Banks. The book provides access to video material, largely stemming from this project.
