Airpower on Canvas

摘要

Keith Ferris was no stranger to the grass airfields of the 1930s. The son of an Army pilot, he grew up in the modi- fied 1917 officer barracks at what was then Kelly Field in Texas. Airplanes would taxi along the old strips and park almost directly across the street from his house. When he was just five, Ferris started drawing airplanes. That way, he could show his father, a flight instructor, what had landed while he was gone. Ferris spent most of his childhood watching the airplanes.
