Description
Ellington Field tells the story of one of America's most significant training airfields, from its establishment in 1917 to its transformation into NASA's airfield for the Johnson Space Center. This fascinating history mirrors the country's aviation development over nearly a century.
From World War I to the Cold War and beyond, Ellington Field has played a pivotal role in shaping America's military and space programs. The book explores the highs and lows of its operations, including periods of closure and reopening, as well as its evolution from a small airfield to a major hub for aviation training.
With its unique blend of history and aviation expertise, Ellington Field offers a compelling look at a pivotal moment in American history. This book is a must-have for anyone interested in the development of US military and space programs, or those who enjoy learning about the country's rich aviation heritage.
