Second in a six-volume series on the United States 1900–1925 (with plenty of pages devoted to the 1890s and before as background). Contains a long chapter (28) called "The Airplane Emerges" which includes some more and less famous characters in the American genesis of the airplane.

Kirtland, Colonel B. D. Foulois, Major H. H. Arnold, Major W. C. Sherman, Paul Henderson, Grover Loening, Griffith Brewer, Arthur Ruhl, Byron Newton, James H. Hare, William E. Hoster, and George Rothwell Brown.
Other main topics treated in this volume are the education (McGuffey Readers) of the generation ascendant in the 1900s; oil, steel, railroads, & trusts; and Roosevelt.
