Summary:
Today, Hawaii is a six-hour flight. But the first flights to Hawaii required a nerve-wracking twenty-six-hour journey to isolated islands in the world's largest ocean. Jason Ryan chronicles the thrilling first flights to Hawaii during the Golden Age of Aviation, and the Dole Derby, a 1927 air race in which eight pilots from all walks of life battled fuel shortages, engine problems, forced sea landings, and navigational errors to claim a cash prize offered by "Pineapple King" James Dole.
