BOB HOOVER AND THE HEROES OF FLIGHT AMERICA 250

About this episode

THE STORY OF LEGENDARY AMERICAN PILOT BOB HOOVER- FOR AMERICA 250  The 20th century brought a tremendous amount of innovation but none so tremendous and awe-inspiring as flight. By the 1920's "barnstormers" were putting on death-defying airshows all across rural America, and by the 30's these shows, like the National Air Races in Cleveland, were moving to major cities, where they became a very risky venture for not only the flyers but the spectators as well. Many men and women fliers became international celebrities. Todays story surrounds the incredible career of early barnstormer turned test pilot, WWII hero, and stunt flyer Bob Hoover and is based in part on his autobiography "Forever Flying".
