Adventure, vision, innovation and competition were the driving forces behind St. Louis’ role as an aviation hub in the 20th century. Flight City: St. Louis Takes to the Air explores the history of flight in the moments when hot air balloons, airships and planes first soared over our city; when aviators thrilled the public with daredevil displays; when new entrepreneurs launches enterprise to meet growing demands; and when St. Louis itself rose to meet the future of flight.
