Bailout: A Skydiving History From Da Vinci to Today
Don Dwiggins traces parachuting from early canopy ideas to modern sport. From Guille’s umbrella parachute in 1829 New York to postwar growth, the book highlights feats and tragedies including Ortner’s Field disaster in 1967, ending with a defense of skydiving’s safety and rules. Dozens of dramatic photos accompany the Elyria Public Library release.
