History of the Iowa City Airport

For those of you lucky enough to subscribe to "Aviation History"
magazine, you've already seen Scott M. Fisher's outstanding article
about Jack Knight's epic transcontinental air mail flight through Iowa
City, way back in 1921. Commercial aviation was literally born right
here in Iowa City, thanks to the almost super-human efforts of Jack
Knight, and the other early pioneers of flight.

For those who DON'T subscribe (and you're really missing an excellent
magazine, BTW), Mr. Fisher has kindly agreed to let me reproduce his
article "Knight Flyer" in its entirety on our "History of the Iowa
City Airport" website.

See the "Knight Flyer" article he http://www.alexisparkinn.com/

See the history of the airport webpage he http://

After reading how the old-timers flew the airmail cross-country in
open cockpit biplanes, in weather like we're experiencing this week,
you will NEVER have any trepidations about flying anywhere again,
guaranteed.

Enjoy!
