Review
"This small book is an excellent summary of the emergence of the airline in American society between the end of World War I and the beginning of the Great Depression in 1929. Bilstein has made a fine contribution to aviation history."--"American Historical Review"
"Bilstein has done an impressive job of research. Aviation buffs and students of the 1920s will find it well worth their while."--"Journal of American History"
"Bilstein has produced a good descriptive book of the political, economic, and social significance of the airplane from 1918 through 1929. Without ignoring the romance associated with flight, he provides a valuable account and successfully supports his case for the importance of these years in establishing the pattern of aviation's impact in subsequent decades."--"Journal of Economic History"
