Explore regional aviation history with the Heinz History Center!
In the 1920s, Bettis Field was the epicenter of Pittsburgh aviation, a hub of thrilling aerial adventures. Come meet the daring, larger-than-life characters who were the first to fly over Allegheny County. This lavishly illustrated book showcases stories about the brave (and foolish) men and women who once delighted the region with their barnstorming and stunt flying, delivered air mail, and were pioneers of commercial and passenger flight.
