商品簡介
In this densely illustrated account, expert aviators Larkins and Reuther give the inside track on the machines and pilots who must have flown over the city on the bay. With hundreds of period photographs they explain why the city drew float planes, military aircraft, balloons, blimps, and gliders to such installations as the NACA/NASA Research Center, the Boeing School of Aeronautics, and the best races and air shows of the nation. They give readers plenty of topics for further research, such as why on earth the Graf Zeppelin appeared on the skyline in 1929. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
