Biography of Glenn Curtiss - Hell-Rider to King of the Air
Recently searching for books about Glenn Curtiss I found this book from 2003.
House, Kirk W. 2003. Hell-rider to king of the air: Glenn Curtiss's life of innovation. Warrendale, Pa: SAE International. 273 pages. ISBN 978-0768008029  As it is quite expensive (about $ 60) can someone advice on the contents and the quality of this biography? Cheers Kees

From what I understand this biography had broken new ground regarding Curtiss's days in engine development, motorcycles etc. Still I have not read it myself so that would be hearsay.
I believe the Curtiss Museum in Hammondsport, New York has this available for around $40.00 although I'm not sure about shipping costs overseas.
