Book Signing for 'Prairie Flyers' Tuesday

A wildly popular exhibit from 2022 at the DeWitt County Museum is now available in book form.

 

The 'Prairie Flyers of Central Illinois: A  Century of Aviation in America's Heartland' was a huge hit in 2022, spearheaded by the late John Warner. He recruited Edith Brady-Lunny and Denis Hambucken to help in the effort, and Brady-Lunny was largely charged with gathering the content that was turned into an exhibit catalog.

 

While Warner passed in the spring of 2023, Brady-Lunny indicates it was always planned to take the stories they had and turn them into a book.

 

Tuesday evening at Warner Library, Brady-Lunny, and Hambucken will be selling and signing their book. Additionally, some of the individuals highlighted in the book will be on hand as well. Hambucken says those who attend are under no obligation to purchase a book, but he hopes that if you do, you'll also get signatures of some of the featured individuals.

 

In addition to Tuesday's book signing, there will also be more events to promote the book at the Library during July. Brady-Lunny and Hambucken say to put July 22 and July 29 on your calendars to hear from more of the individuals featured in the book and the Prairie Flyers exhibit.
