Overview

Takes a nostalgic journey through 20th-century transportation as documented by LIFE Magazine & other photographers in nearly 100 striking images complemented by excerpts from the century's authors. Covers: airplanes, parachutes, trains, autos, bicycles, rickshaws, sailboats, ocean liners, motorcycles, & the Zeppelin. Many of the great LIFE photographers -- among them, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Carl Mydans, Andreas Feininger, Margaret Bourke-White, & George Silk -- have captured memorable images of these ingenious inventions. These photos of speed & motion are accompanied by excerpts from 20th-century authors, including Antoine de Saint-Exupery, Ernest Hemingway, Katherine Anne Porter, John Steinbeck, & Jack Kerouac.
