Air Force One - by Kenneth T Walsh (Paperback)

Air Force One is a definitive history of the president's plane, from FDR's prop-driven Pan Am to the glimmering blue and white jumbo 747 on which George W.

Bush travels.

This book provides an inside look at the decisions made by our last 12 presidents on the plane, their personality traits and peccadilloes, and how they established a distinctive mood aboard that was a reflection of their times and individual personalities.

Based on interviews with four living presidents, scores of past and present White House officials, and staff and crew members of Air Force One, this book reveals countless fascinating stories of life aboard the "flying White House." It also features descriptions of the food, decor, bedrooms, medical clinic, and much more.

With remarkable photos of the planes (inside and out) and the presidents, Air Force One is a must-read for anyone interested in American history and politics.
