Great Collection of Vintage Aviation Stories

I love this book. The author is a man who spent his youth accompanying his father who flew around the country for TWA in the 50's and 60's. There were lots of "cowboys" and "hotdogs" flying then. As he grew older he visited with many of these older, retired, pilots recording and collecting their stories. Nowadays it is amazing to think that many of these commercial airline pilots were actually able to pull off their stunts. Today these same things would never be permitted. Anyone who enjoys aviation will love this book.
