Synopsis
Alaskans were introduced to the airplane as early as 1913, when town officials in Fairbanks invited stunt flyers James and Lilly Martin to fly over the local baseball park on July 4. Because many areas are only accessible by air, this enormous state is still defined today by aviation so that aviation and Alaska have formed a very special symbiosis that is unique both in the world of geography and flying. This publication celebrates the 100th anniversary of this remarkable relationship. It looks at aviation through artifacts of flight, popular culture and other ephemera; objects that are unique to flying in Alaska and that impressively convey stories of the pioneering spirit, engineering and the North. In an extraordinary fashion, they foreground the changes flying brought to life on the ground, guiding the reader from the early days through times of war and industrialization, to the beginning of the second century in the air.

gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Am Anfang stand ein Schauflug der beiden Stunt-Piloten James und Lilly Martin in Fairbanks am 4. Juli 1913. Seitdem stehen die Luftfahrt und Alaska in einem faszinierenden, beinahe symbiotischen Verhältnis. Erst das Flugzeug hat die Anbindung dieses riesigen Gebietes an die Welt möglich gemacht, bis heute sind weite Landstriche nur aus der Luft zu erreichen. Es ist kaum verwunderlich, dass es sechsmal so viele Piloten pro Einwohner gibt, verglichen mit den übrigen Bundesstaaten der USA. Dieser Band feiert den 100. Jahrestag dieser bemerkenswerten Beziehung: Sie wird durch eine Vielzahl von Objekten und Artefakten vorgestellt, die einzigartig für die Fliegerei in Alaska sind und die eindrucksvoll die Geschichte eines ganz besonderen Pioniergeistes erzählen. Der Leser wird von den ersten Anfängen über die Jahre des Krieges und der Industrialisierung hin zum Beginn des zweiten Jahrhunderts in der Luft geführt. (Text engl.) 128 pp. Englisch.
