A History of Chicago's O'hare Airport (Landmarks)

Gave it to my brother who worked there for 25+ yrs. Some of the stories in the book he heard first hand from being there. I love the way O'Hare got its name.

The book covers the span of history that surround the creation of O'Hare International Airport. There are many photographs of the various aircraft that called on O'Hare. I was looking for photos of the exterior of the terminals, front and back, interior photos, aerial shots of the runways, maps or diagrams of the runway configurations at the time of major changes. Text-wise, the book jumps around alot, restating material already discussed; it's not a rigorous chronological history.Clearly this book is better than nothing and it is the only book that comes close, however, I was left wanting more.

This seller is Top Drawer. A++++++

If you want to know O'hare history this is the book to read. Complete, easy to read, nice selection of photo's. My grandson used it for his history fair project.

Alot of details on how O'Hare came about. Love the quick run through of the authors experiences. This is a great gift giver for those that love aviation history or lived in the area.
