Golden Age of Flight

GOLDEN AGE OF FLIGHT · HERITAGE NOS. 04–07

Between the wars, aviation stopped being an experiment.

The world got smaller by the mile. Airliners crossed continents. Racers pushed the limits of what an airframe could survive. Speed became a product. Distance became a marketing pitch. Douglas rolled out the DC-3 in 1935 and within three years it was flying 90% of the world's airline traffic. Jimmy Doolittle set a world speed record at 296 mph in a Gee Bee R-1 that killed more pilots than it made famous.

This is the era of Golden Age — when a generation of engineers, aviators, and dreamers built the airplanes that made modern flight possible.
