Product Description
Since the dream of flight was finally realized by two Ohioans, Wilbur and Orville Wright, it is little wonder that Greater Clevelanders were quick to embrace it. From the August day in 1910 when Glenn Curtiss flew from Euclid Beach Park to Cedar Point, aviation has had a strong following in Cleveland. World War I saw the dawn of aircraft production in the city, and the 1920s brought the world-renowned Cleveland National Air Races. Cleveland industry supported aviation in many different ways, and multiple airports, many now long gone, promoted business aviation and flight training for decades. During World War II, Cleveland was a center of war production, and much of this was aviation related. Subsequently, renovations of the Cleveland Municipal Airport created Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. A scene of thriving airline operations to this day, Clevelands business community was quick to appreciate the advantages of corporate aviation, which remains a daily feature of Clevelands aviation life.

Cleveland's Legacy of Flight September 10, 2008
Tom Matowitz is an air junkie like me. I very much enjoyed vintage aviation, as a historian of my Ohio hometown of Columbus. It was a treat to see a photo of Port Columbus under construction that I had never seen. What a treasure of Cleveland area photos he has assembled; I hope the book is a great seller. I only wish I had more info on the cover photo; who was the pilot and what was the plane in the background.
Great Book! May 30, 2008
The perfect follow-up to Tom Matowitz' book, The Cleveland National Air Races. Wonderful images that have been rarely or never published before. Makes a great addition to any library or great as a gift. Anyone interested in Cleveland history, Aviation History or times-gone-by will love it.
