They called it the Airman's Airline ... the Airline of the Stars. Its passengers hummed "up, up and away" as it thundered into the jet age. It was born of aviators such as Charles Lindbeergh and sustained by mystery-man Howard Hughes. And it was Kansas City's. It was here that the airline got its first start and experienced its most glorious years. Now, as the TWA name becomes a memory, Kansas City Star Books chronicles the life of TWA, Kansas City's Hometown Airlines, through a lens that is distinctly local. No other book examines as extensively the airline's emotional and historical roots that were originally Kansas City's and run deep to this day. It's a tale of guts and glamour, or romance and celebrity. Or risk-takers fighting red ink. TWA is, and will forever be, a Kansas City story. Celebrate that legacy with TWA : Hometown Airline.
