The Winged Gospel: America's Romance with Aviation

$7.99

Author Professor Joseph

Format Paperback

Publisher The Johns Hopkins University Press

Category Air and Space

"From the day when two bicycle mechanics made the first flight at Kitty Hawk until the end of World War II, Americans invested extraordinary hope in airplanes, expecting them to revolutionize daily life and transform the world. For many, the flying machine became a virtual god. Exploring these early years of aviation, Joseph J. Corn describes the fascinating, and often bizarre, plans for the future of manned flight (including the Depression-era dream of "an airplane in every garage") and brings back to life the famous and lesser-known aviators who became American heroes - Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, Calbraith P. Rodgers, and many others. Rich in colorful detail, The Winged Gospel provides a vivid picture of America in the first half of the century and the exuberant and often utopian response to a major new technology."--BOOK JACKET.
