The press release for Keisel’s Dayton Aviation describes it in this way:
Dayton Aviation: The Wright Brothers to McCook Field examines Dayton’s civil and military aviation history from its start with the Wright Brothers to the founding of Wright and Patterson Fields in the 1930s, a period that saw the construction of the world’s first airport, the Huffman Flying Prairie.
The book is on sale now from Arcadia Publishing, as well as bookstores and online retailers.
