Colonel Cody
and the Flying Cathedral: The Adventures of the Cowboy Who Conquered Britain's Skies
(1st Edition book - 2000 hardbound book w/dustcover)
by Garry Jenkins
Colonel Cody and the Flying Cathedral is the fascinating and bizarre history of Samuel Franklin Cody, who in his early years worked the same cattle trails as Buffalo Bill, played the same Dodge City roulette tables as Wyatt Earp, and competed with the legendary Annie Oakley for the title of King of the Wild West sharpshooters. But his later life took a startling turn. While performing in England, Cody became a passionate kite-builder and flyer, and at the apex of his career, fashioned a vast airplane dubbed "the Flying Cathedral," and with it went on to become the first man to fly in England.
About the Author:
Garry Jenkins is the author of five previous books, including the acclaimed THE BEAUTIFUL TEAM, about Brazilian soccer. He lives with his wife and children outside of London, England. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Book Review:
From Publishers Weekly
Early on in his career as a daring and colorful Wild West showman, Samuel Cody (1867-1913) claimed to have been born in Texas and to be a relative of William Frederick Cody, aka Buffalo Bill. Actually, his name was Franklin Cowdery, and he came from Davenport, Iowa. In 1889 Cody married Maud Lee, and together they set off for England to perform as Buffalo Bill's "son and daughter," but legal entanglements with Bill Cody ended their stint and, effectively, their marriage. With his new love, Lela Davis, Cody toured throughout Great Britain and Europe with his hit Wild West drama, The Klondyke Nugget. But when he grew bored with acting, he turned to other interestsAnamely kite-flyingAand so began an all-consuming passion for flight. Cody became determined to build and fly the first British airplane and, after many failures, on October 16, 1908, he managed to get his plane into the air for 27 seconds. He continued to build and fly planes, including his biplane, "the flying Cathedral," with which he won the 1,010-mile circuit of Great Britain in 1911. Cody was killed in 1913, when his seaplane broke in half at 500 feet. Jenkins, a London-based journalist, does a credible job of evoking the early days of aviation and describing his subject's role in its evolution. However, Cody's contradictory characterApart hustler, part inventive geniusAnever really springs to life. B&w maps and photos.

CONCERNING ORDERS OUTSIDE U.S.A.:
On May 14th, the U.S. Postal Service raised their postal rates and changed shipping policies which affects everyone mailing to addresses outside the United States in 3 ways:
(1) The U.S. Postal service no longer offers surface mail. Everything mailed to an address outside the U.S. must be sent via International Air Mail.
(2) They reclassified many types of mail. Where previously rigid flats containing books could be mailed as large or small envelopes, all books mailed in rigid flats are now classified as parcels (a more expensive classification).
(3) The rates themselves increased.
We will still offer international shipping and charge, to the best of our knowledge, accurate shipping costs. We apologize for the shipping cost raise, but unfortunately, it is out of our hands.
----------------------------------------------------
Shipping is quite a bit cheaper
when you buy multiple books
--- INTERNATIONALLY ---.
Once you get past base shipping price,
it is extremely cheaper for each added book's/items' weight.
