The book explores the historical significance of Grand Central Air Terminal, which served as Southern California's primary commercial airport from 1923 until World War II. It highlights notable events, such as Charles Lindbergh's first scheduled transcontinental flight and Amelia Earhart's presence as a passenger. The terminal boasted the first paved runway west of the Rockies and hosted major airlines. Following Pearl Harbor, it transitioned to a military training center, playing a crucial role in Los Angeles's air defenses during the war.
