Description
The incredible, untold story of the men who
risked their lives in the first transcontinental
air
contestâand put American aviation on the
map.The Great Air Race reclaims one of the most
important moments in the history of American
aviation the transcontinental air race of
October 1919 that saw scores of pilots compete
for the fastest roundtrip time between New York
and San Francisco in frail, open-cockpit
biplanes. Riveting the nation, the
aviatorsâmost of them veterans of the
Great Warâpioneered the first coast-to-coast
air route, braving blizzards and driving rain as
they landed in fields or at the edges of cliffs.
Bringing the pilots and the race's impresario,
Billy Mitchell, to vivid life, journalist and
amateur pilot John Lancaster captures the
challenges of flying in that almost
prehistoric ageâthe deafening roar of the
engine, the constant fear of mechanical failure,
the threat posed by mere rain. As he
demonstrates, the race, despite much drama and
tragedy, was a milestone in the development of
commercial aviation. The Great Air Race is a
captivating story of man and machine, and the
debut of a major new popular historian. Review
Although the race took place during
peacetime, Lancaster is in solid military-history
territoryâ The race itself was fraught with
peril, and the author recounts in great detail
the inherent struggles of trying to fly
cross-country when there were no navigational
aids, and the weather could prove deadly. In the
end, there were numerous crashes, injuries, and
fatalities, and Lancaster covers all of it,
making for thrilling reading. The book also
includes outstanding photographs. An excellent
read for those interested in aviation, the
military, and American history. â Colleen
Mondor, BooklistA dramatic account of the massive
1919 cross-country air race, âthe likes of
which the world had never seen.ââ In this
well-researched text, Lancaster delivers an
expert description of the planes (mostly ex-WWI
fighters) and biographies of the
volunteersâ Entertaining fireworks during the
early days of flight. â Kirkus ReviewsAmong the
many virtues of John Lancasterâs delightful The
Great Air Race is how vividly it conveys the
entirely different world of aviation at the dawn
of the industry, a century ago . . . My favorite
book about Antarctic exploration is The Worst
Journey in the World, by the British writer
Apsley Cherry-Garrard, a survivor of a
doomed expedition in 1910. The Great Air Race has
the same horrific but heroic fascination. Page by
page you think, What else can go wrong? Page by
page, you want to learn more . . . This is
Lancasterâs first book. But he deftly pulls off
some tricks that are harder than they seem. He
embeds social, economic and political history as
he writesâfor instance, how coast-to-coast air
travel fits into the history of wagon trails,
railroads and highways connecting the continent .
. . I have read a lot about aviation and
the aircraft industry over the years, but almost
everything in this tale was new to me. You might
take it on your next airline flight, pause to
look out the window and spare a thought for those
who helped make it all possible. â James
Fallows, New York Times Book ReviewAn energetic
and entertaining history of âthe greatest
airplane race ever flown,â a 1919 round-trip
race between San Francisco and Long Island. . . .
Lancaster brings to vivid life the eccentric cast
of racers. . . The result is a high-flying
history of aviationâs white-knuckle early days.
â Publishers Weekly From the Back Cover
âœFew Americans remember today that, between
World War I and World War II, air-racing was
the countryâs most popular form of public
entertainment . . . this is more than the tale of
those magnificent men and their flying machines.
For contemporary readers, it is also a fable of
how new technologies are introduced and
spread.â?âRinker Buck, New York Times
best-selling author of Life on the Mississippi
âœIn The Great Air Race, John Lancaster unearths
a forgotten and seminal saga in American aviation
history . . . and vividly evokes the turbulent
history of early competition among audacious men
determined to fly round-trip cross-country at all
costs.â?âCherie Burns, author of? The Great
Hurricane âœCombining a journalistâs
storytelling skill with his own expertise as a
pilot, John Lancaster puts you in the cockpit of
this dangerous contest to prove the potential of
airpower.âDouglas Waller, author of A Question
of Loyalty âœA virtually forgotten yet
historically important air race at the dawn of
commercial aviation is grippingly brought to life
by John
Lancaster.â?âEric Jay Dolin, best-selling
author of Rebels at Sea âœIn narrating the story
of the great 1919 air race, John Lancaster is
also describing the birth of arguably the single
most enduring technological breakthrough of the
twentieth century, one that still wields enormous
power over our daily lives and the fate of the
world.â?âGlenn Frankel, Pulitzer
Prizeâwinning journalist and author of Shooting
Midnight Cowboy About the Author John Lancaster
is a journalist who spent most of his career at
the Washington Post, including eight years as a
foreign correspondent. His writing has also
appeared in National Geographic and the New
Republic, among other publications. He lives in
Washington, DC.
