Ernest K. Gann€s classic pilot's memoir is an up-close and thrilling account of the treacherous early days of commercial aviation. €œFew writers have ever drawn readers so intimately into the shielded sanctum of the cockpit, and it is hear that Mr. Gann is truly the artist€ (The New York Times Book Review).

€œA splendid and many-faceted personal memoir that is not only one man€s story but the story, in essence, of all men who fly€ (Chicago Tribune). In his inimitable style, Gann brings you right into the cockpit, recounting both the triumphs and terrors of pilots who flew when flying was anything but routine.
