The twentieth century is already remembered both as the American Century and as the age of manned flight, and Franklin D. Roosevelt was one of the leading agents in setting out to implement the principles that came to govern the international aviation system from 1945 onward. He ensured America’s supremacy in civil aviation for over half a century by carrying out domestic reforms and by becoming a key architect of the post-war international civil aviation regime. Demonstrating that FDR himself played a much more important role in crafting policy than has been previously acknowledged, this book offers long-overdue insights into Roosevelt and civil aviation.
