Abstract
This collection of essays is a long-overdue study in the field of aviation history. As the editor, Dominick Pisano, notes in his introduction, "New Directions in the History of Aviation," most work in this field has been "narrowly focused" (p. 10). This is due to a variety of reasons. Aviation history owes much to military patronage, which has significantly limited its scope and objectivity. Also, aviation historians often have behaved as "enthusiasts" rather than scholars (p. 8). As a result, the field has "remained virtually static in its aims and methods over the course of its history," (p. 2) and has failed to keep up with historiographical developments. This work seeks to broaden the focus of aviation history by exploring various social and cultural facets of the field.
