People Behind The Planes . . .

If you are an aviation history enthusiast, then you'll want to check out this book.  "Aviation From Shop To Sky" by John J. Floherty is something you shouldn't pass up.  Floherty gives a brief history of the beginnings of aviation but the bulk of the book is about the vast numbers of skilled workers - engineers, scientists of all kinds, factory workers and pilots - who design, manufacturer and fly the airplanes.  It does have it's original dust cover and there are 215 pages of information and black/white photos to review.
