(some in color), appendix, endnotes, bibliography, index, ink note on front endpaper some wear and soiling to covers. Foreword by Robert Dallek. The author was the chief White House correspondent for U.S. News & World Report. From Roosevelt's prop-driven Pan Am to the glimmering blue-and-white jumbo 747 on which George W. Bush travels, the President's plane has captured the public's awe and imagination. In this unique book, Walsh looks at the personality traits and peccadilloes that our last 12 presidents revealed on the plane, and the way they each established a distinctive mood aboard that was a reflection of themselves and their times. The book is based on interviews with five living presidnets, staff and crew members of Air Force One, and others. More

He was a 1st Class Air mechanic and Observer with the No. 22 Squadron RAF. On 13 April 1917 Whitehouse and his Pilot Bush were brought down by anti-aircraft fire; Whitehouse believed afterward that the Red Baron mistakenly listed Whitehouse/Bush among the Barons's "credits"-although this was not so. For taking part in shooting down German Aircraft and airplane raiding missions he was awarded the Military Medal with the RFC in November 1917. During the last part of World War I he was undergoing training in England as a Pilot in Sopwith Camels aircraft. As of September 1919 he was a 2nd Lt. A notation on his Medal card noted he was awarded the "British War Medal" and British "Victory Medal" More
