About this product
Product Information
The history of Lambert-St. Louis International Airport is the story of American aviation. Everything that has taken place on the airport's footprint--from Lindbergh to American Airlines, jet airliners to space travel--constitutes a microcosm of the triumphs and tragedies of winged flight in America. The Aerial Crossroads of America chronicles the transformation of the patch of farmland leased by Albert Bond Lambert in 1920 into the sprawling international airport it is today. Illustrated extensively with images from the airport's history, the book tells not only the story of Lambert, but also the history of what it means to take flight in America. Aviation expert Daniel L. Rust begins his story with Albert Bond Lambert's pioneering efforts to promote air travel in the Midwest. While other American airports might today eclipse Lambert, Rust shows that airports serving New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago all lack the longevity of Lambert and its range of historic activity. In the book, Rust moves at super-sonic speed, covering the 1923 Air Races, Charles Lindbergh and his Spirit of St. Louis , the US Air Mail service, the birth of American Airlines, military aviation, the rise of the aircraft manufacturing industry, the development of air traffic control, regulation and deregulation, and the decline of Lambert as a large hub following the demise of TWA and 9/11. Brimming with anecdotes, little-known historical threads, and lively explanations of just what Lambert has meant to the aviation industry, The Aerial Crossroads of America will be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in aviation, inspiring readers to glance out their windows and admire the view on every ascent.

Reviews
In this generously illustrated book, Daniel L. Rust chronicles the efforts of Lambert and his successors to establish the airfield, explains the field's role in the golden age of aviation, and describes the challenges faced by today's airport., A major contribution to the story of how transportation shaped modern St. Louis. I have used Lambert-St. Louis International Airport countless times, but until I read Rust's excellent history, I never realized what a fascinating legacy it embodied., The upcoming centennial of this illustrious airport is a fitting time to outline and share the history of Lambert-St. Louis International Airport. From the early days of grass and dirt runways, to the beauty of the copper-clad arches of the Minoru Yamasaki-designed terminal, Lambert has seen, and has been very much a part of, the development of civilian and military aviation in the United States. This book serves as a marvelous testament to a great airport.

Was sent the wrong item. I ordered a CD and I received an LP instead. Two different places on the description said that it was a used CD in good condition. When I emailed the seller about it I got a generic reply telling me that they would get to it when they can and that if I send a second message it will just delay the process. That is terrible customer service. If they have time to send me an email message at all then they have time to initiate a refund or to answer the question I asked.

The book arrived in a plastic envelope with not protection and unfortunately it looked like the book was damaged in transit because of it. The items original ETA was April 18th but arrived on April 22nd. I requested a refund after seeing the quality of the book and the seller responded with a full refund and an apology for the quality. I really appreciated the customer service but was sad to see the book not in the quality described.

My sincere apologies, the item was not what I expected, (to NO FAULT of the SELLER at all.) It came in good condition however, I must’ve of misunderstood the description, I thought the names would be transliterated into English, but it's in Hebrew. I thought it would give the Hebrew meaning to the name/ places. Also I noticed that the dust jacket was different than the advertised photo. If I may, I'd like to request a refund please and continue my search... Kind regards.
