Summary: The History of Flight in the Nation's Air Travel Capital
Comment: When it comes to travel and transportation, most methods just improve something people can do by themselves. Boats, cars, trains, etc. merely improve people's ability to walk, run and swim. But flight has always been something completely new.

Dave Young shows how flight had many roots in the Chicago area (the Wright brothers studied the work of Octave Chanute) and them fully blossomed. Since the early days of airports, Chicago has always, except for a short period, had the world's busiest airport (first Chicago Municipal/Midway, O'Hare and then O'Hare again). It is no wonder that aviation has such a rich history in Chicago.

The rich history is illustrated and illuminated by wonderful and rare photos that captivate the reader. A wonderful book that was well worth the wait. Get this one and Lynch's Chicago's Midway Airport: The First 75 Years and you will know it all.
