Customer Reviews

Enjoyable reading for anyone interested in aviation.

I was let down to see that such an intriguing book had only one review. I, having read this book at age 11, still enjoy this great story of the power of flight. My dreams of flying are somewhat as those of a New England attorny. But once he is behind the controls, his practice is simply work and he sets off to indulge his flying aspirations with many thouroughly enjoyable tales. The book is at times exciting, sad, and even romantic (in an airman way).

A pleasant story of one mans life in general aviation

The author gives a highly entertaining tale of his experiences in general aviation, beginning with his flying lessons as a middle aged practicing attorney to his many trips to far away destinations and his eventual upgrading to faster and bigger planes. Most of us who own airplanes and read this book will identify with Frank. Once you start the book you will not put it down.
