Bellanca's Golden Age: The Golden Age of Aviation Series

Bellanca's Golden Age is included in The Golden Age of Aviation Series. Bellanca's Golden Age book examines the colorful history of Giuseppe Mario Bellanca, better known as G.M. Bellanca, and his company's aircraft. This book's rich narrative and numerous period photographs reveal the reasons why the young Sicilian moved to the U.S. in 1910, and includes Bellanca innovations such as Columbia, which flew non-stop from New York to Germany just two weeks after Lindbergh's flight; Miss Veedol, the aircraft that made the first non-stop transpacific flight; the Cruisemaster; Bellanca racers and others. This is the only book that captures the complete Bellanca story. Details of the first 10 flights over the Atlantic and the first one over the Pacific are provided. Includes never-before-told stories of Charles Lindbergh, Clarence Chamberlin and several other Golden Age personalities.
