Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Essentially a collection of mostly short articles related to the history of aviation in Florida. Some sections, such as the one on the female aviator Jacqueline Cochran, act as brief teasers that then beg the reader to search out more detailed and in-depth works (thankfully each section is appended with a thorough bibliography). Other sections really do very little to broaden one's appreciation for the topic. Not really pleasant as so much an informative read but the book certainly works as a quick reference source for aviation topics in Florida. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Florida--land of perpetual sunshine, open spaces, and endless blue skies perfect for flying. Blimps, hot air balloons, bi-wings, jets, space shuttles-you name it: if you can fly it, you can fly it here, and many aviators have. From the launch of Amelia Earhart's final flight to the worlds first scheduled airplane flight, important events in aviation have taken place in Florida. Filled with gorgeous color paintings by artist William Trotter, this book offers the definitive history of aviation in Florida--from the open-cockpit bi-wing planes used by the barnstormers of the 1920s to the jumbo jets and space shuttles of today.
