Description

In 1942, a stretch of Illinois prairie that had served as a battleground and a railroad depot become the website of an important manufacturing plant, producing Douglas C-54 Skymasters for World War II. Not up to 20 years later, that plot of land boasted the most important and busiest airport on this planet. Most of the millions who have since passed through it have likely only regarded it as a spot between cities. But for people like Michael Branigan, who has spent years on its tarmac, they know that O’Hare is a city unto itself, with an interesting history of gangsters and heroes, mayors, presidents and pilots.
