No Ice Today
4 pp · non-fiction; aviation

Since the beginning of aviation, ice formations on aircraft have posed a deadly threat—but U.S. scientists have finally cracked the problem with the revolutionary thermal anti-icer. This 1945 feature traces the history of failed de-icing methods and reveals how engineers harnessed exhaust heat to prevent ice buildup on wings, propellers, and cockpit windows, transforming winter flying from a dangerous gamble into a manageable challenge that's already proving itself in Navy patrol bombers and the new Liberators.

Tom Van Buren takes readers on a thrilling tour of aviation's future in this 1945 vision of tomorrow's skies, showcasing real aircraft like the Lockheed Constellation alongside imaginative predictions of massive airliners, personal flying cars, and even rocket planes that could cross the Atlantic in under two hours. Through expert forecasts and glimpses of everyday life—including a joyride to Mexico by Mr. Jones, Alice, and their family in a plane with collapsible wings—the story explores how air travel will transform cities, commerce, and leisure in the decades to come. It's a fascinating snapshot of mid-century optimism about what aviation pioneers believed the post-war world would bring.
