BELLANCA's GOLDEN AGE traces G.M. Bellanca coming from Sicily to America as a young man in 1911 through his 42 years of continuous aircraft design and manufacture. 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).
