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.
