CW: Elon Musk

Just realised it’s a near certainty that, just like me, Elon Musk grew up reading the Usborne future books and that this would explain a lot about his naive technological utopianism and that now I feel queasy

New instance, another #introduction time! I'm an #aviation #historian – and now #histodon – in Australia, though I mostly study Britain. I'm less interested in aircraft themselves than in how they've made people think and feel ("airmindedness").

I've written on the knock-out blow from the air, the Hendon air display, the international air police force, etc; I'm currently writing an emotional history of the German air raids on Britain during #WW1.

Ask me about phantom #airships!
