Download or read book Wild Blue written by David Fisher and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 1999-12-31 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wild Blue collects the most gripping accounts of what some would call the greatest achievement of the century: controlled flight. Charles Lindbergh takes readers wing-walking in a barnstorming biplane; Ernest K. Gann describes how the nocturnal spell of copiloting a DC-2 at night is broken by the unexpected terror of ice on its wings; a young ace named Chuck Yeager shatters the sound barrier and then loses consciousness in a violently tumbling rocket-plane. From the soaring to the harrowing, from flying a Piper Cub over the Rockies at the age of 14 to a nighttime carrier approach with an anxious, rusty lieutenant, Wild Blue puts readers right in the cockpit.
Download or read book Into the Wild Blue Yonder written by Jeff Egerton and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-05-25 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most comprehensive book on early airline history ever written. From their formative years to the jet age, it contains bios on key people in the industry as well as data on the major aircraft that made up the fleets. It also covers many airlines that didn't survive the dog-eat-dog world of airline star-ups. You will find out how airlines were started and prospered even though many people were afraid of flying and this was during the time of the Great Depression.Because the airlines evolved from the risky business of flying the mail, the history of air mail and the air mails acts are covered, including the infamous 12 day-long "Spoils Conference" that was either the breath of life or death knell, for every airline in the country.This book will answer such questions as: Who was the most famous pilot in the world in 1935? (Hint, he made the cover of the December 2nd issue of Time magazine, and it wasn't Lindbergh!)Which airline wrecked both of its planes on the day before it was supposed to inaugurate service?Why were there fist fights in the Douglas factory during the production of the DC-1, and how did Donald Douglas stop them?Which airline grew out of the air mail route that went from "nowhere to nowhere"?Which airline pilot carried seniority #1 for his entire career, and never flew co-pilot? Which airline had to bribe a pilot, who didn't even work for the airline, to make the first flight?
