Book Description:
Since the late 1800s, Chicago has been a mecca for aviation. Chicagoís Octave Chanute kept the skies filled with revolutionary gliders and his expertise in aeronautics contributed to the Wright Brothersí success. Chicago: City of Flight tells the story of aviation in the city with exciting chapters on early ìbirdmen,î the birth of Chicago as a major airmail center, the spectacular chills and thrills of international airports and airplane manufacturers, and airlines, such as United Airlines, that were born in the city. Later topics include the cityís modern aerospace industry and an exclusive look at Chicagoís 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. ÝÝ
