The work of the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk becomes the focal point of early aviation. Coast to Coast Coast to Coast follows the attempts of Carl Rodgers, Oakley Kelley and John McReady in their attempts to cross the American continent by air; thus opening the door for public transcontinental flight.

In 1924, six nations led by the U.S. Army cooperated in the first around-the-world flight.

His success in the "Spirit of St. Louis" paved the way for mass transit to become a reality.
