George Pocock
may have written the first book on airborne wind energy; his textbook on
converting the energy of the wind to do special work is a classic.
1827 George
Pocock's book ‘The
Aeropleustic Art’ or 'Navigation in the Air by the Use of Kites or
Buoyant Sails'
was published. The book was republished again several times. The
Charvolant or Kite Carriage was described. Importantly Pocock described
use of kites for land and sea travel.
Full book online:
HERE. Title full:
A TREATISE on The Aeropleustic Art, or Navigation in the Air, by means
of Kites, or Buoyant Sails: with a description of the Charvolant, or
Kite Carriage, and containing numerous most amusing and interesting
anecdotes connected with several extraordinary excursions both by sea
and land.

As a kite system converts wind energy to do the work of lifting the mass
of the wings involved and the tethers involved, then kite books are
actually airborne wind energy books; kite systems are busy doing
hundreds of secondary tasks. There are hundreds of books about kites and
kiting.
One
list in wiki format; that list certainly is not complete. Each year
sees new titles around the world; and many titles are neglected in that
wiki.
