About This Item
Basic Books, 1997-08-22. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Hardcover, 1997 Basic Books 369 pages. Near Fine, in a NF DJ. Blue cloth spine with gilt titles over mustard paper boards with blue accents - corners sharp. Just a hint of shelf/edge wear to unclipped DJ - now in mylar. The author, a book editor for the Chicago Sun-Times, decided to enliven his middle years by learning how to fly. But he wanted an additional challenge, and when he read about the cross-country flight of C.P. Rodgers aboard the Vin Fizz in 1911, he knew he'd found it. In this book, he recounts his experiences learning how to fly (it was difficult to find an instructor willing to teach a deaf person) and buying a Cessna 150 (which he named the Gin Fizz in honor of Rodgers). Great Aviation story. ISBN-0465024254. LOC SSS-06
