Intertwining the story of the airport's development with the history of flight-education programs at the University, the book highlights a vast cast of characters and an examination of aviation's development on the local level throughout the last century. What was once Stow Field, a small airport in a rural community, stands at the center of this story. Kent State's participation in the federal government's Civilian Pilot Training Program in the years leading up to World War II led to state funding for purchase of the airport and prepared the way for the creation of collegiate aviation. This brought in Andrew Paton, who created the first flight-training curriculum and established a vision for the role the airport could play in a university-run program. In the period between the two World Wars, Stow Field was also the site of aviation exhibits that drew as many as 80,000 people, including the christening of Goodyear's first helium blimp. As Kent State's airport is now enjoying both a new vitality and long-awaited investment, William D. Schloman and Barbara F. Schloman place this in context with the at-times-uncertain survival of Kent State's aviation program. This comprehensive history will appeal to graduates of that program and all aviation history enthusiasts, as well as those interested in the history of the region more generally."-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Kent State University Airport (Stow, Ohio) $x History. 610 20 $a Kent State University $x History. 610 27 $a Kent State University. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00536055 651 0 $a Stow (Ohio) $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Aeronautics $z Ohio $x History. 650 0 $a Flight training $z Stow. $z Stow. 650 0 $a Air pilots $x Training of. 650 7 $a Aeronautics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00798293 650 7 $a Air pilots $x Training of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00802460 650 7 $a Buildings. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00840962 650 7 $a Flight training. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00927377 651 7 $a Ohio. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205075 651 7 $a Ohio $z Stow. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01223438 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Schloman, Barbara F., $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Schloman, William D. $t A century of flight at Paton Field $d Kent : The Kent State University Press, 2019. $z 9781631013812 $w (DLC) 2019023466 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191105022503.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=64705CEEFF9A11E9A2D37E2597128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
