Denver International Airport, the pride of its city, is the largest, most technologically advanced airport on earth. It handles 92 landings per hour, delays averaged just .5% of flights in the first year of operation, and its ontime performance continues to be exemplary. Yet the project was fraught with unexpected difficulties, and at times the specter of total failure hovered over Denver Mayor Federico Pena's field of dreams. This book tells the fascinating story of how the biggest public works project in recent decades came to be, with all the drama of crucial decisions of monumental impact, colorful actors, fame, fortune, deceit, and despair.

On the cusp of the Great Depression, Denver mayor Benjamin Stapleton pushed for the development of the first city-operated airport. Denver Municipal Airport opened in 1929 with three hub airlines. While Stapleton would be honored to later have the airport named after him, by the mid-1980s, the name Stapleton had become synonymous with congestion, flight delays, and frequent closures when the snow moved in. To solve the problem, Denver mayor Federico Peña envisioned a massive new airport, but when Denver International Airport (DIA) opened in 1995, its three hub airlines had whittled away to just one, and critics warned of dire consequences. Yet the airport persevered, and today, with its iconic tent roof, six runways, and 53 square miles of land, it stands amongst the most beautiful and busiest airports in the world. This is the story of three airports and how they brought the city from cow town to boomtown.

Inaugurated on February 28, 1995, Denver International Airport (DIA) was the first new airport in the United States for almost two decades. From concept to completion DIA's construction took four years and nearly billion, one of the largest building projects on Earth. Since it's inception, DIA has garnered acclaim for not only its stunning exterior and interior design, but more importantly its traveling convenience made possible by 900 dedicated Denver City and County Department of Aviation employees. This pictorial celebration of DIA marks a truly remarkable achievement, solidifying the Mile High City as the ""Gateway to the American West.""
