520 1 $a"Imagining Flight focuses on the United States, but also contrasts American ideas and attitudes with those of other air-minded nations, including Britain, France, Germany, and Japan. Among the topics covered are: dreams of aviation's future, from the Wright brothers to the space shuttle; pilots as heroes, including Lindbergh, Earhart, Yeager, and the "Red Baron"; the promise (and threat) of aerial bombing; five decades of airline advertising and the changing expectations it created; aviation disasters and the stories we tell about them; and flight in film and television, stories, and songs." "Imagining Flight carries these themes into the twenty-first century and considers them in light of the September 11 terrorist attacks and the Columbia disaster. It is thus the first book to explore the entire first century of flight through the eyes of those who watched it from the ground."--BOOK JACKET.
