hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. Bound in brown cloth with gilt text on the spine. In 1924 . three years before CharlesLindbergh makes his historic flight over the Atlantic - post WWI America is convinced she can do anything she puts her mind to. In the midst of the RoaringTwenties however, the boist…erous nation's capitol is rocked by political infighting for the control of military aviation. The brash young army general Billy Mitchell is attempting to wrest air power away from both the army and navy tocreate an independent air force under his own command. To counter this move, the brilliant navy Rear Admiral William Moffett has challenged Hawaii-based Commander John Rodgers with a death-defying mission; one designed to sway the politicians and the public alike, to the navy's side. If Rodgers accepts, he will command three planes in a seemingly impossible mission; the first non-stop flight from San Francisco to Honolulu. This bold gamble could make or break the navy's bid for control of its own air power and unbeknownst toRodgers, Moffett has lined up a second publicity-grabbing stunt involving the world's largest dirigible. In this gripping historic novel, followJohn Rodgers' spellbinding story to itsriveting conclusion as political intrigue, inter-service rivalries, engineering challenges and personal hurdles all conspire to doom the mission. Then, an anxious public is forced to hold its collective breath when one of the planesis forced down in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean and matters are made worse as the navy dirigible experiences serious trouble of her own. The dramatic aftermath will change the course of aviation history. xv 523pp. Glossy illustrated dustjacket.CONDITION: Covers are unmarked. Pages are crisp and clean. Binding and text block are tight.
