E.M. "Matty" Laird was an American success story-born to a working class Chicago family, he turned his innate mechanical abilities and fascination with flight into a career that put him at the top of aviation's pioneers. As early as 1915, he was flying a home-made biplane in exhibitions; and in 1919 he set up shop in Wichita, building the Laird Swallow, America's first commercial aircraft. After moving to Chicago, he designed and manufactured the LC-R Speedwing series of planes. Laird's planes were high-quality machines, and they were known for their speed. In 1930 and 1931, he built the "Solution" and "Super Solution" race planes, flown by Charles "Speed" Holman and Jimmy Doolittle, respectively. "Solution" won the Thompson Trophy in 1930, and "Super Solution" won the first Bendix cross-country race in a record-setting time of fewer than 12 hours. In this generously illustrated book, Ed Phillips covers Laird's career, the E.M. Laird Aircraft Co., and the record-setting planes that he built. It's a fascinating look at the early days of commercial aviation and air racing in the United States.

The Convair B-58 Hustler was the first operational supersonic jet bomber capable of Mach 2 flight. The aircraft was designed by Convair engineer Robert H. Widmer and developed for the United States Air Force for service in the Strategic Air Command (SAC) during the 1960s. It used a delta wing, which was also employed by Convair fighters such as the F-102, with four General Electric J79 engines in pods under the wing. It carried a nuclear weapon and fuel in a large pod under the fuselage rather than in an internal bomb bay. Replacing the Boeing B-47 Stratojet medium bomber, it was originally intended to fly at high altitudes and supersonic speeds to avoid Soviet fighters. The B-58 received a great deal of notoriety due to its sonic boom, which was often heard by the public as it passed overhead in supersonic flight
