New in Paperback!In the 1940s, FDR was the first airborne president, flying several times in a C54 nicknamed the 'Sacred Cow.' In the 1950s, it was aircraft known as 'Independence', 'Columbine II' and 'Columbine III' that transported Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower on occasion. But it was not until after the Korean War, with the United States becoming the leader of the free world, that presidential air travel entered the modern age. The jetage mobility of the American presidency beginning in the 1960s corresponds directly to the nation's emergence as a super power.Air Force One: The Aircraft that Shaped the Modern Presidency is the story of the planes, the Presidents, their staff and, their many trips across the nation and around the globe. But it's also more than that, it is a vehicle for better understanding the activities and dealings of each presidential administration in the second half of the twentieth century.Through vibrant photography, this book communicates the story of a unique set of planes and the presidents who made them a vital national asset. Now all of these planes and their famous passengers have been captured. Written by Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum curator Von Hardesty and featuring over 200 illustrations, including new photos of the airplane's interiors, this book takes you on a memorable flight through history. Through insider accounts and from a unique vantage point on wellknown political events, Hardesty shows how the presidency was transformed by the remarkable advances in aviation technology.
