Description

INTO THE WILD BLUE YONDER is an fascinating book covering the history of the US airlines from their formative years to the jet age. It tells the story of numerous airlines that didn’t make it, or were swallowed up during mergers. Read about the people who were involved in the dog-eat-dog business of getting an airline off the ground… during the Great Depression. The book has stats about the planes they flew and a history of the dashing, leather-helmeted air mail pilots, many of which became the first airline pilots.

This book will answer such questions as:

Who was the most famous pilot in the world in 1935? (Hint, he made the cover of the December 2nd issue of Time magazine, and it wasn’t Lindbergh!)
Which airline wrecked both of its planes on the day before it was supposed to inaugurate service?
Why were there fist fights in the Douglas factory during the production of the DC-1, and how did Donald Douglas stop them?
Which airline grew out of the ir mail route that went from “nowhere to nowhere”?
Which airline pilot carried seniority #1 for his entire career, and never flew co-pilot?
Which airline had to bribe a pilot, who didn’t even work for the airline, to make the first flight?
