Forgotten Chicago Airfields EPUB
by Nicholas C. Selig
EPUB
Description
Nick Selig excavates the highways to the sky that have been covered up by urban sprawl or dissolved by neglect.
More than a guide to landing strips that have had startling second lives as shopping malls or retirement homes, he uncovers the excitement of the early days of air travel, when a man might cling to his job as a lavatory truck driver for a closer peek at aviation.
In this follow-up to "Lost Airports of Chicago," discover how a tractor swap gave birth to Clow International Airport and revel in the daredevil exploits of puddle-jumper pilots over the wide-open spaces of Harlem Avenue.
