Glendale Public Library: Flying Over Glendale in the 1950s

What was it like to crop-dust fields over what is now your hometown? To interact with Luke Air Force jets over the White Tanks? To be an aerobat in an air show? To pilot experimental firefighting tankers in the Bradshaws? Examine our Arizona roots from a thousand feet up with Glendale author Ford Dudley, who will talk about researching and writing his novel Thunder Angel. Set in and around Glendale, Arizona in 1955, Thunder Angel is a carefully researched novel about a young, female pilot flying through a man’s world.
