Wright Field

Keisel. Established in 1927, Wright Field in Dayton, Ohio, was the hub of U.S. aviation research during World War II.

This lavishly illustrated guide — an exciting release from the heralded Images of Aviation series — explores the entire history of Wright Field including its impact on the local community, the inevitable and devastating crashes that occurred during testing, and its change to the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in 1948. 128 pages, 100+ photos, 6½"x 9¼", softcover.
