Gary Fogel is an aviation historian who has written extensively on the history of gliding in San Diego. Gary will be speaking about his new book, Quest for Flight. John J. Montgomery and the Dawn of Aviation in the West. The book covers the accomplishments of Montgomery, a prolific inventor who piloted the glider he designed in 1883 in the first controlled flights of a heavier-than-air craft in the Western Hemisphere 20 years before the Wright brothers powered flight in 1903.
