Description
The Early Development of the Aviation Industry: Entrepreneurs of the Sky provides an introduction to the world of early aviation and the business endeavours of its pioneers. This book explores how these entrepreneurs created opportunities in a rapidly changing industry, using their experiences as case studies for understanding successful entrepreneurship. The careers of pioneering aviators such as A.V. Roe, Thomas Sopwith, Glenn Curtiss and William Boeing are examined during the start-up and early development stages of aviation. The book relates this experience to contemporary studies and experiences of entrepreneurship, shedding light on what made these men successful in their entrepreneurial endeavours. This book makes a significant contribution to our knowledge of the twentieth century economy, offering valuable insights into the nature of entrepreneurial behaviour and the business conditions necessary for success.
