**"The ABCs of Pittsburgh Aviation"**

Western Pennsylvania History magazine editor Brian Butko and public historian Sue Morris discuss the thrilling early days of flying in their new book, Bettis: Where Pittsburgh Aviation Took Off. Beginning in the 1920s, the daredevil women and men of West Mifflin's Bettis Field helped change the industry from barnstorming to passenger service in less than a decade. A book sale and signing will follow.
