Title: Hard to find but worth the search
Review: This is one of the best books on the history of aviation in America that I have ever seen. The book tries to center on Illinois (home of the world's busiest airport for 70 years), but it does go into broader regions (Octave Chanute in Indiana, Lindbergh, the Wrights, etc.)This is a scholarly work and many will not find it an easy read. However, the book is very well organized and has a number of photo sections that help illustrate this fascinating topic.I recommend this book for serious history fans, and I recommend Chicago's Midway Airport, The First 75 Years by Christopher Lynch for the nostalgic reader.
