High Horizons is a comprehensive account of the history of United Air Lines, one of the largest and most successful airlines in the world. Written by Frank J. Taylor, a former United Air Lines employee and aviation historian, the book covers the airline's early days as a mail carrier, its pioneering efforts in passenger aviation, and its evolution into a global travel giant. The book takes readers on a journey through the aviation industry, exploring the challenges and triumphs that United Air Lines faced over the years. From the daredevil flying postmen who delivered mail by air in the 1920s to the development of the modern magic carpet, Taylor provides a vivid and engaging portrait of the airline and its people. The book also delves into the technological innovations that have made United Air Lines a leader in the industry, including the development of the first jet airliner and the introduction of computerized reservation systems. Throughout the book, Taylor captures the spirit of adventure and innovation that has driven United Air Lines to success. With its engaging storytelling and detailed historical research, High Horizons is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of aviation and the evolution of modern air travel.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
