About the author

John Lancaster is a veteran journalist who spent twenty years at the Washington Post, including eight years as a foreign correspondent based in Cairo and New Delhi. He left the Post in 2006 to write for magazines, including National Geographic, Smithsonian, Slate, The New Republic, and The Surfer’s Journal. John is also an amateur pilot and longtime aviation buff whose interest in flying led him to the subject of his first book, The Great Air Race. As part of his research for the book, which tells the story of the 1919 transcontinental air race, John piloted a small two-seat plane along the route of the contest, from New York to San Francisco and back again. John grew up in Connecticut and graduated from Stanford University in 1980. He lives on Nantucket and in Washington, D.C., with his wife, Gail Walker, an attorney. They have two adult children.
