One Summer

I just finished reading a book by Bill Bryson called One Summer. Bryson writes about America in the summer of 1927. 

It was quite a pivotal year, really. Lindbergh flew across the Atlantic, which kicked aviation into high gear. Many, many people died in plane accidents, ie testing new planes and or testing the limits of planes. The Model A was released in Dec. (Henry Ford was weirdo, by the way, if you didn't know that already.) 
Those little tidbits are just the tip of the ice berg.
The book comes high recommended.
