Adirondack History, From the Air
Learn the stories of aviators, small-town airfields, and wilderness adventure through Aviation in the Adirondacks, out now from Arcadia Publishing.
“…countless aviators have flown over the Adirondacks, landed on farmer’s fields, and helped cobble together new airports with nothing but a windsock, a hangar, and some gumption.”
From biplanes to hot air balloons, zeppelins to floatplanes, the history of aviation in the Adirondacks is full of unique stories and aviators. Aviation in the Adirondacks is a photo-rich book that brings these stories to life, from the biplane-flying doctor who delivered airmail to military veterans who connected communities to the wilderness, and so much more. Even Santa, from his residence at the North Pole, NY, plays a role in this amazing airborne history.
What the reviews say…
