Established in 1929 the last race was held in 1961. The race was 10 miles long with 50-foot-high pylons marking the turns and emphasized low altitude flying and maneuverability at high speeds. As the race was flown around a closed course crowds in the grandstands could easily see much of the spectacle. The Travel Air (Mode R) Mystery S joined the Thompson Trophy one of the National Air Races of the heyday. It was dubbed as the Mystery Ship. It took the lead twice during the race in spite of recycling a pylon that Doug Davis cut short on the second lap. Each part of the Travel Air Mystery S Minimize

'Operating on a shoestring, for this was the height of the Depression, we launched at Nenana two skiffs of our own making and unconventional design, like the most foolhardy party that ever embarked on the great river. For the next 80 days, over a distance of 1,600 miles, we fared through what was then truly a wilderness looking for ancient archaeological sites and recording our adventures and misadventures, our many disappointments and fewer lucky finds, and above all, our rewarding contacts with the Native peoples and white settlers we met along the way' - Frederica de Laguna.This robust and engaging travel narrative re-creates a remarkable adventure in the summer of 1935, when Frederica de Laguna, then in her late 20s, led a party of three other scientists down the rivers of the middle and lower Yukon valley, making a geological and archaeological reconnaissance. De Laguna has based her story on her field notes, journals, and letters home. She augments this first-hand account with excerpts from the reports of earlier explorers and data published after her trip. The result is a fascinating and informative cross-cut of historical events along the Yukon River and its tributaries." Travels Among the Dena" chronicles the expedition from its outfitting in Seattle and the trip by steamer and railway to Fairbanks and Nenana, through an 80-day journey on skiffs down the Tanana and Yukon rivers to Holy Cross near the coast, with side trips on the Koyukuk, Khotol, and Innoko rivers, before a one-day return flight to Fairbanks with pioneer bush pilot Noel Wien. Maps illustrate the route taken downriver, and the author's photographs capture images of the time. The resulting volume is both a delightful addition to the literature of travel adventure in Alaska and an important contribution to the discipline of anthropology. Frederica de Laguna is professor emerita of anthropology at Bryn Mawr College. Her many publications include "Tales of the Dena: Indian Stories from the Tanana, Koyukuk, and Yukon Rivers". Minimize

"In Just One Restless Rider", Carlos Schwantes invites read ... Read more

"In Just One Restless Rider", Carlos Schwantes invites readers to climb aboard for a ride they'll never forget. Growing up in Indiana, Schwantes was enthralled by trains and especially dreamt of one day riding the Pennsylvania Railroad's all-Pullman flagship Spirit of St. Louis. Now the 'dean of travel historians', Schwantes recalls his many trips along the legendary rails of America and traces the evolution of American passenger trains from the 1950s to the present. The recollections are illustrated with a host of the author's own photos that capture old steam engines, ultramodern European terminals, and even the staff of a luxury train in action. In 1993, Schwantes was invited to travel as a lecturer aboard the cruise train American Orient Express; he subsequently rode tens of thousands of miles on more than thirty separate train cruises. His narrative includes reflections on life aboard American and European trains and embraces the view from the car windows as he ponders the meaning of passing skylines. From boyhood memories of the Pennsy - 'the mightiest thing I knew' - to adult travels, Schwantes takes in the rich history and lore of rail travel. He muses over the legend of ghostly brake-man Joe Baldwin on the Wilmington and Manchester, decapitated in an accident and said to walk the nighttime tracks swinging his lantern in search of his missing head. He discovers the confusing variety in timetables issued by the numerous British lines following the privatization of British Rail and the adventure of sharing a coach with cigarette smugglers in Eastern Europe. And he hears the recollections of old railroad men like Bill Dixon, retired president of the famed Rock Island Line. By the time Schwantes actually rode on the Spirit of St. Louis in 1970, it had been down-sized to a single coach and left him a rider even more restless than those celebrated by Arlo Guthrie in the song 'City of New Orleans'. "Just One Restless Rider" is an enjoyable trip for those with the 'disappearing railroad blues' or anyone who has ever been captivated by the rhythm of the rails. Minimize

There is no airline more influential or better known than Pan Am Airways. From 1927, the aviation pioneer set the stage for commercial air travel, transporting hundreds of thousands of passengers around the world. Its Boeing 707 service on the North Atlantic marked the beginning of age of jet transport. It's inaugural flight on October 26, 1958, from New York to Paris, covered 3,634 miles in 8 hours and 41 minutes. Pam Am's staying power and the Boeing 707 went on to revolutionize intercontinental air travel. For its 25th anniversary, Pan Am recreated every detail of the Boeing 707's first flight - including a complete overhaul to repaint and duplicate the color scheme used on the 1958 original. Token & Coins acquired a section of fuselage from this now-retired Pan American Boeing 707, recreating the shape of the plane's gravity-defying wing ribs. The unique cufflinks incorporate the plane's feather-light aluminum and sky-blue paint set in sterling silver findings, harking back to a time when air travel was a luxury, an event for which gentlemen donned suits, ties and yes, cufflinks.
