Two local historians and authors will share their extensive knowledge on the golden age of aviation in our region at an upcoming book talk at Cranberry Public Library.

Brian Butko and Sue Morris will discuss their book, “Bettis: Where Pittsburgh Aviation Took Off,” at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 28, at the library, 2525 Rochester Road, Cranberry Township.

Bettis Field may no longer be a familiar name, but it was once the epicenter of Pittsburgh aviation. The story of this 1920s airport captures the exciting, early years of flying, from barnstorming to commercial and passenger flight to Bettis’s role in delivering airmail. A cast of daring, larger-than-life characters, both men and women, made Bettis the place to be, according to a news release from the library.
