Description
FLYING STORIES II How I came to be a pilot and engineer and what happened after that - This is the all new revised and expanded edition of the older book FLYING STORIES. This updated edition with new format is now 392-pages with over a hundred B&W images and photos related to the stories. These are hangar flying stories of a generation born in the 1930s, too late to fly dirigibles or be barnstormers and too young for WWII. The book, told in short vignettes, is about the golden age of civil and military aviation development and the forgotten aircraft engineers and pilots of the 1960s through the 1980s, those men and women who helped make air travel safer than riding the bus and America the world leader in aircraft design. An older, but wiser aviator looks back on his flying adventures and aviation centered life to tell these stories with humor and rich sarcasm.
