| Summary: | To Midwesterners tucked into small towns or farms early in the twentieth century, the landscape of the American heartland reached the horizon - and then imagination had to provide what lay beyond.

This work offers a panoramic vista of the transformative nature and power of the aerial vision that remade the Midwest in the wake of the airplane. |
