Since Orville and Wilbur Wright took wing at Kitty Hawk in 1903, air travel has evolved at a dizzying rate, making present day globe-hopping a relatively simple reality. In Flight, Eaton Conant recounts a remarkable life cris-crossing the globe for work, adventure and pleasure, from his first lift-off at Butch O'Hare airport, isolated in a remote cornfield outside Chicago, to the maiden voyage of the Pan Am 1 to Tokyo. Flight will remind you of where we have been, and just how far we are able to go.
