520    When the Marines decided to buy a helicopter-airplane 
       hybrid "tiltrotor" called the V-22 Osprey, they saw it as 
       their dream machine. The tiltrotor was the aviation 
       equivalent of finding the Northwest Passage: an aircraft 
       able to take off, land, and hover with the agility of a 
       helicopter yet fly as fast and as far as an airplane. Many
       predicted it would reshape civilian aviation. The Marines 
       saw it as key to their very survival.By 2000, the Osprey 
       was nine years late and billions of dollars over budget, 
       bedeviled by technological hurdles, business rivalries, 
       and an epic political battle over whether to build it at 
       all. Opponents called it one of the worst boondoggles in 
       Pentagon history. The Marines were eager to put it into 
       service anyway. Then two crashes killed twenty-three 
       Marines. They still refused to abandon the Osprey, even 
       after the Corps' own proud reputation was tarnished by a 
       national scandal over accusations that a commander had 
       ordered subordinates to lie about the aircraft's 
       problems.Based on in-depth research and hundreds of 
       interviews, The Dream Machine recounts the Marines' 
       quarter-century struggle to get the Osprey into combat. 
       Whittle takes the listener from the halls of the Pentagon 
       and Congress to the war zone of Iraq, from the engineer's 
       drafting table to the cockpits of the civilian and Marine 
       pilots who risked their lives flying the Osprey-and 
       sometimes lost them. He reveals the methods, motives, and 
       obsessions of those who designed, sold, bought, flew, and 
       fought for the tiltrotor. These stories, including never-
       before-published eyewitness accounts of the crashes that 
       made the Osprey notorious, not only chronicle an 
       extraordinary chapter in Marine Corps history but also 
       provide a fascinating look at a machine that could still 
       revolutionize air travel.
