Fill the Heavens with Commerce: Chicago Aviation, 1855-1926

by David Young

Everybody knows that Chicago's O'Hare Field is the busiest in the world, but few who pass through O'Hare realize that since the infancy of flight Chicago has been a center of aviation. This lively, information-packed book draws on never-before-published records, including those of the famous Aero Club of Illinois, many photographs in private collections, and interviews with the scattering of aviation pioneers still alive to give a rare portrait of aviation in its infancy and to document Chicago's role in the early development of flight.(jacket copy)
