Description

Von Hardesty (au); Bob Schieffer (fr). Air Force One -- the awe-inspiring magic carpet for presidents & the backdrop for more than one moment of high drama in the American experience -- has acquired mythic status in the popular mind. This book, illustrated with historic photographs, captures the extraordinary saga of presidential air travel. It offers a unique vantage point to revisit certain pivotal events in America’s past: the assassination of John Kennedy in 1963, the opening of Communist China under Richard Nixon in 1972, & the threat of terrorist attacks under George W. Bush in 2001, among others. A flying Oval office, Air Force One has served as a platform for presidential leadership &, in doing so, has become an extraordinary conduit of American history.
