City of Flight by Jim and Wynette Edwards CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Since the late 1800s, Chicago has been a mecca for aviation. Chicago's Octave Chanute kept the skies filled with revolutionary gliders and his expertise in aeronautics contributed to the Wright Brothers' success. Chicago: City of Flight tells the story of aviation in the city with exciting chapters on early "birdmen," the birth of Chicago as a major airmail center, the spectacular chills and thrills of international airport and airplane manufacturers, and airlines, such as United Airlines, that were born in the city. Later topics include the citys modern aerospace industry and an exclusive look at Chicago's Wright Redux project, members of which designed and manufactured a replica Wright flyer. They plan to fly it over the city on December 17, 2003, in celebration of 100 years of manned, powered flight. PUBLISHED BY ARCADIA AN IMPRINT OF TEMPUS PUBLISHING, INC. |
