Landing in Las Vegas

“This book presents a case study exemplifying a dominant theme of the twentieth-century American West—the triumph of technology over nature, space, and time. No other book so clearly demonstrates the close historic ties between the commercial passenger aviation industry and the economic growth and vitality of Las Vegas in the broader context of aviation history and the history of the American West.”
—Daniel Rust, author of Flying Across America: The Airline Passenger Experience

“Landing in Las Vegas is of considerable significance and well-handled. It explores the important issue of commercial aeronautical policy in both a regional and national setting, as well as the incursion of international travel to Las Vegas in the 1970s. This is an important subject that has not received the attention it deserves.”
—Roger Launius, senior curator of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum
