Oblong 32mo. (12)ff. Printed in black with red and blue borders is Ferlinghetti's Beat treatment of flight. He begins with Kitty Hawk and proceed directly to the bombers over Nagasaki and Hiroshima, and then to the bombers over the Middle East, and at last to 9/11, when planes fly "straight into the beating heart of Skyscraper America where there were no aviaries and no parliaments of doves." A brisk treatment of the technological history of warfare and the consequences of engineered imperial dominance. Stab-bound in plain printed wrappers. Fine.
