FIRST EDITION 1976
Tom and Ira Dancer are daring young men in their flying machines, routing the Germans from the new battlefield of the skies. When World War I ends, they are sure their future is still in the clouds.
Tom re-enlists. He has to fly. He was born to charm the unwilling, man-made birds into marvels in the air... and woman into willing slaves below.
Ira, the older of the two, has larger plans. He begins to manufacture planes on his own. Two men stand with him at the start: Curly, a fellow pilot in the war, and Johnny, Ira's mechanic. They are the vanguard of a company that will grow, as the importance of aircraft grows, to gigantic proportions.
Brood of Eagles is the intimate chronicle of the Dancer family: the soarers like Tom and Grace, the builders like Ira and Ned... those who rejoice in the mission of the dynasty and those who reject the sacrifices it demands of them. It is the story of 50 years that transformed America, and three generations of a family who lived in those turbulent years.
