The path to jet travel was triumphal & amazingly rapid-less than fifty years after the Wright Brothers` first flight at Kitty Hawk, Great Britain led the world with the first commercial jet plane service.

Jet Age vividly re-creates the race between two nations, two global airlines, & two rival teams of brilliant engineers for bragging rights to the first jet service across the Atlantic Ocean in 1958. Verhovek`s Jet Age offers a gorgeous rendering of an exciting age & fascinating technology that permanently changed our conception of distance & time. ...
