About This Item
Manhattan, Kansas:: Sunflower University Press, 1985.. Paperbound . BINDING/CONDITION: paperbound; Fair condition; the cover is faded and worn.. 8vo (8.5 inches tall) . Description: The author's introduction ends with this: ''Once I flew copilot for a veteran finishing up his last week of a 37-year airline career. He soloed in the early 1920s, dusted cotton, barnstormed, and flew right seat in Fords with another line before finding a home with us. He was a consummate pilot with 34.000 hours logged without scratching an airplane. He was also a great fellow to fly with. As we took position on the runway and waited, looking down the concrete ahead, I wondered how many times before he had done it. What was he thinking now? I wanted to ask, but didn't. Perhaps he read my ithoughts. 'You know', he said, 'This is just as much fun now as it ever was. Can you understand that.?' I could. These following chapters, then make an indirect attempt at an explanation -- or perhaps a clarification -- of my view from the cockpit.'' Len Morgan was a long-time Braniff caption and wrote many aviation books and articles. He was also one of a handful of daring American aviators who went to Canada and earned their RCAF wings before America entered the second world war.
