(More customer reviews)This book is a must for anyone interested in the history of aviation, or even the history of Wichita itself. The mostly pictorial book contains great photos of early Wichita (the old Miller Theater, the 81 Drive-In !!), its residents, and of course the airplanes that have made the city famous. Stuff I've never seen anywhere else. You'll spend hours immersed in the photos reliving the "good old days" or perhaps catching a glimpse of those days for the first time. Perfect for historians or enthusiasts, old or young. Well worth the price.

From the first hot air balloons floating over the wheat fields to the major aviation corporations that still call the city home, Wichita has been associated with the wonder of flight, which celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2003. The images in this book document the evolution of flight and its subsequent effect on the cowtown that dared to dream it could become an international center for aviation.ÝÝ
