Utilizing a varied range of sources and an interdisciplinary approach, the course will examine some of the social, cultural, technological, military, and commercial aspects of America's "love affair" with flying. A field trip to the New England Air Museum (near Bradley Airport) will be included, and an original research paper will be requi 1.00 units, Seminar
