Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a dramatic chronicle of the glory days of the propeller plane, when the young, ambitious domestic airlines-led by shrewd, independent-minded businessmen-met up with military olive drab. It offers a fascinating view of how a fledgling industry developed into a crucial military operation, and how it came out of the war not only victorious, but also ready to change the shape and pace of air travel forever. Originally published by Kensington Books.
