The Affinity and Air Power in Aerial Age
An essay tackling a high freedom ideal and its clash with newspapers, then tracing wartime aircraft progress. It notes early war planes as light machines, limited by speed and armament, while envisioning larger, heavier planes and airships for peacetime transit between major cities. The piece previews Caproni designs and Italy’s heavy air campaigns, imagining regular flights linking New York to Washington and other eastern hubs as a future air highway.
