New York, NY: Swedenborg Foundation Inc, 1988. First Edition, First Printing . Hardcover. NEW - COLLECTIBLE/New. BRAND NEW & COLLECTIBLE. First Edition, First Printing. Aviation history. Swedish scientist, philosopher, theologian, revelator, and mystic Emanuel Swedenborg (1688 - 1772), born Manuel Swedberg, is best known for his book on the afterlife, Heaven and Hell (1758). Swedenborg was also an inventor. This volume is a study of one of his early designs, circa 1714 --- "a machine to fly in the air" -- anticipating the modern airplane by more than 150 years. With its oval, fixed "sail," Swedenborg's contribution soars high. Henry Soderberg encountered this remarkable invention while research for a book on the history of flight. In this account Soderberg offers an overview on the dream of flight through the centuries and places Swedenborg at a pivotal point in aviation history.
