520    "Keith Lucas was killed instantly when his BE2 biplane 
       collided with that of a colleague over Salisbury Plain on 
       5 October 1916. As a captain in the Royal Flying Corps, 
       Lucas would have known that his death was a very real risk
       of the work he was doing in support of Britain's war 
       effort. But Lucas wasn't a career pilot--he was a 
       scientist. The Flying Mathematicians of World War I 
       details the advances and sacrifices of a select group of 
       pioneers who left the safety of their laboratories to 
       drive aeronautics forward at a critical moment in history.
       These mathematicians and scientists, including Lucas, took
       up the challenge to advance British aviation during the 
       war and soon realized that they would need to learn how to
       fly themselves if they were to complete their mission. Set
       in the context of a new field of engineering, driven apace
       by conflict, the book follows Lucas and his colleagues as 
       they endured freezing cockpits and engaged in aerial 
       versions of Russian roulette in order to expand our 
       understanding of aeronautics. Tony Royle deftly navigates 
       this fascinating history of technical achievement, 
       imagination, and ingenuity punctuated by bravery, 
       persistence, and tragedy. As a result, The Flying 
       Mathematicians of World War I makes accessible the 
       mathematics and the personal stories that forever changed 
       the course of aviation. "--|cProvided by publisher.
