Unlike my last book I loved this! It's got history, cool technology (turn of the 20th C biplanes) and a race across the continent - clearly my kind of book! John Lancaster spent years doing research and it shows, as he resurrects the story of this all-but-forgotten 1919 transcontinental air race put on by the Army Air Service. What a great read!

I read an advance copy - the book releases Nov. 15. Full review: https://bit.ly/rvw-Air-Race
