Jack El-Hai

“Jack El-Hai faithfully propels us through the history of a company we all took for granted. From rickety planes delivering mail to one of the largest and most respected airlines…

“El-Hai’s narrative captures the pivotal business and political moves that allowed Northwest to grow, while also spotlighting the characters and trends of the airline’s history.”

“A concise record of aviation’s race to zoom further, faster and ever more fashionably through the 20th century…. Brimming with wonderful period photographs.”

“A bright chronicle of one of the nation’s legacy airlines…. Full of mid-century cool, this book soars along on a powerful slipstream of nostalgia.”
