Taking Flight explores the emergence of commercial aviation between the world warsand in the midst of the Great Depressionto show that the industrys dramatic growth resulted from a unique combination of federal policy, technological innovations, and public interest in air travel.

Historian M. Houston Johnson V traces the evolution of commercial flying from the US Armys trial airmail service in the spring of 1918 to the passage of the pivotal Air Commerce Act of 1938. Johnson emphasizes the role of federal policyparticularly as guided by both Herbert Hoover and Franklin Rooseveltto reveal the close working relationship between federal officials and industry leaders, as well as an increasing dependence on federal assistance by airline, airframe, and engine manufacturers.

Taking Flight highlights the federal governments successful efforts to foster a nascent industry in the midst of an economic crisis without resorting to nationalization, a path taken by virtually all European countries during the same era. It also underscores an important point of continuity between Hoovers policies and Roosevelts New Deal (a sharp departure from many interpretations of Depression-era business history) and shows how both governmental and corporate actors were able to harness Americas ongoing fascination with flying to further a larger economic agenda and facilitate the creation of the worlds largest and most efficient commercial aviation industry.

This glimpse into the golden age of flight contributes not only to the history of aviation but also to the larger history of the United States during the Great Depression and the period between the world wars.
