Description:
Here is a gripping, in-depth look at how America's $200 billion aviation industry took flight -- from rickety, post-World War I biplanes that navigated by following railroad tracks to today's supersonic airliners that carry half a billion passengers a year. The story of one of the most exciting industries of our time, this book profiles the successes of such industry leaders as Boeing, American, United, and Delta as well as the demises of Pan Am, TWA, and Eastern. Heppenheimer also brings to life colorful, outspoken aviation leaders such as Juan Trippe, Howard Hughes, Donald Douglas, and Frank Lorenzo.
