Air Force One – The Book

Published in Midwest Flyer – April/May 2018 issue

For the last 60 years, Air Force One has served every president and first lady through tragedies and triumphs. In aviation expert Nicholas A. Veronico’s book, “Air Force One,” he looks at all of the early aircraft used by the U.S. presidents, ending with Air Force One, bringing the story of the mighty aircraft up to date; detailing how the plane has adapted to the digital age; and what to look forward to as Boeing updates the aircraft once more for 2024.

The presidential plane wasn’t always known as Air Force One. FDR traveled in the “Guess Where II,” a transport version of the four-engine Liberator. Later presidential aircraft included the Dixie Clipper and Sacred Cow (FDR), Independence (Truman), and Columbine I and II (Eisenhower), followed by Air Force One.

Air Force One: $35.00 U.S., 160 pages, hardcover. ISBN: 9780760357996.
