Plane That Changed the World: DC-3 [Paperback] Ingells, Douglas J.

This is truthfully a story of the revolution in transportation that unshackled the hands of earthlings and put them on the stairway to the stars. "The Plane that changed the World" is more than just a story of a machine with wings. It is a story of: * men with vision - engineers and scientists; * men who worked with their hands on production lines - tens of thousands of them; * men of Wall Street, who had the faith to back a struggling infant air transport industry; * men born to the sky who love to fly; * small towns and big cities, linked together in the greatest air transport system the world has ever known.
