While the world was falling apart, the 1939 New York World’s Fair
brought us together to celebrate freedom, technology, and The World of
Tomorrow.
The Futurama, the Trylon and Perisphere, the
Westinghouse Time Capsule, Railroads on Parade, the Chrysler Rocketport,
the Aquacade, and the world’s largest diorama: these are just a few of
the things that you would have experienced at the 1939 New York World’s
Fair.
From writer, director, and World’s Fair expert, Mark
Bussler, this entertaining and informative book guides readers through
the 1939-1940 World’s Fair held in New York City. Feel like one of the
lucky fairgoers while immersed in incredible photographs and details
