Born before the advent of powered flight, Clayton Joseph Knight (1891-1969) and William John Heaslip (1898-1970) became the two preeminent American aviation artists of their time, as they chronicled the golden age of aviation—from Charles Lindbergh's epochal transatlantic flight through the most devastating war in world history. Featuring 400 illustrations, this dual biography shows how Knight and Heaslip fueled the imagination of the public, inspiring the generation who took to the skies in the wake of Pearl Harbor.
