Early Wings Over Maine

John D. Davis, author of this wonderful book, is a lifelong Maine resident and a member of the Maine Aviation Historical Society. John’s background includes college teaching, professional consulting to government agencies and private industry, as well as being an accomplished writer and author, having published several other interesting books on a variety of topics. John credits his late father, Elwyn L. Davis, with being the driving inspiration for this book and for actually photographing some of Maine’s early aviation events. The dedication of Early Wings Over Maine to Elwyn L. Davis could not be put more simply: “He inspired John to look to the skies.”

John does an exquisite job of transporting the reader with words and photos from the early days through to a time when Maine based aviation was the equal of that achieved by many other states. This book will appeal to anyone who has an interest in Maine whether an aviation enthusiast, a student of history or even an inquisitive casual reader.
