DESCRIPTION:
There are moments of beauty and trepidation. In this pursuit of aviation, new friends are made and old ones are lost. These tales embrace aviation from the ground up, embracing its history, its people and the magic of the wind slipping beneath the wings. '50 More Tales of Flight' continues the aviation adventure. Aircraft are flown across the globe, while others are found decaying in the deepest jungles. From the open-air cockpit of an antique biplane to the beads-of-sweat realism of fighter jet simulators, the reader is taken aloft. In this pilot’s journey from the crib to the cockpit is where you will find, ’50 More Tales of Flight’.
It is cliche but i really could not put this down I just finished this book and it really is fantastic. Very well written and well paced to keep you picking it up and reading on when you should maybe be doing other things. Owen has the great gift of being able to place you somewhere else with just the written word. I really did not want this book to end and highly recommend it for anyone who is a aviation or even advent. "More Inspiration, More Personalities" according to Aaron Giddings. In 50 Tales of Flight, Owen Zupp brought stories drawn from his personal experiences, and those of people he interacted with. 50 More Tales is similar, but many of the stories feel even more personal. Owen shares stories of various flight experiences with his father, of his own daughter's encounter with her grandfather's aircraft, and observations from various stages thr. Robert Brus said I love the passion and the personal style Owen's of writing. I love the passion and the personal style Owen's of writing. Whether its on approach in an airliner, or an engine failure in a twin, I feel like I am right beside him experiencing it all as I am reading these stories. This is another beautifully written book with lots of heart and plenty of humour that will have you captivated from start to finish. Highly recommended for
