A Word From The Author

Robert R. Malkas currently resides in Lansing, Illinois. When he first moved there, he went to sleep every night under the first ever airport rotating beacon atop Henry Ford’s Hangar at the Chicago Hammond airport. He came to believe he was being sent a message from Henry Ford himself about his contributions to the history of aviation in the United States. Malkas accepted this challenge and became the first chairman of a village commission assigned the task of managing the Lansing Airport’s growth. He was later appointed airport manager and served in that position for twenty-three years until his retirement in 2008.

What Readers Are Saying

It is evident by the wealth of information that Mr. Malkas shares in this book that he is a true historian of the Village of Lansing and its airport. The book is well-written, and I love the pictures that are included. It makes you wish you could have been there to experience it in person.
