Maryland Aloft
A Celebration of Aviators, Airfields and Aerospace
Edmund Preston, Barry A. Lanman, and John R. Breihan
Aviation aficionados, history buffs and serious researchers alike will find value in this publication. Through the inventory of 125 sites associated with Maryland aviation and the oral histories of fifteen Marylanders who experienced aviation history “on the ground” and “in the air,” readers will gain an appreciation of Maryland’s rich history of aerospace innovation encompassing Wilbur Wright’s flights at College Park Airport, the great Baltimore Aero Meet of 1910, the Schneider Cup races of 1925, the aviation industry’s dynamic growth during World War II, and the development of manned spaceflight at Goddard Space Flight Center. Historic and modern photographs make these people and places come alive. An introduction puts these events in historical context, and a listing of aviation materials and collections provides a steppingstone for future study of Maryland’s role in aerospace history.
This 200-page book not only contains stunning black and white photographs, but notes, a bibliography, index, and aviation resources directory. Order your copy today!
