"For nearly 100 years, the men and women of the state of Kansas have quietly been building the nation's premier regional center for the development and production of aircraft. Over the years, the state has been host to about eighty companies that have manufactured well over 250,000 planes. Within Kansas' 50 million acres have been produced about 60 percent of the world's general aviation aircraft. "Borne on the South Wind" provides perspective on the circumstances, people, and planes that took the state to a position of industry prominence by the 1920s, sustained it during the Depression, helped it boom during WWII, and keeps it competitive during the jet age. An index at end makes further research easier."
