BELLANCA's GOLDEN AGE Traces G.M. Bellanca coming from Sicily to America
as a teenager in 1911 through his 42 years of continuous airplane manufacturing
operations. He did more for aviation than any other single individual during
aviation's first 100 years, bar none! This is the ONLY BOOK that has ever
captured Bellanca's complete and lengthy story. Details the beginnings
of the air transportation system over great distances. Details the first
ten flights over the Atlantic and the first flight over the Pacific. Tells
never-before-told stories of Charles Lindbergh, Clarence Chamberlin and
many other Golden Age personalities. Tells the complete story of the greatest
airplane of the 1920s — Bellanca's Columbia (the plane Lindbergh
wanted but didn't get). In the 1930s the government tested 209 different
airplanes and found that Bellanca's was the best regarding "efficiency." 148
pages and 175 plus photos.
