O knihe

It was during a time when his family was
financially down that the author discovered his
passion. In a county fair where it was even hard
for him and his mother to experience a single ride, he found
himself fascinated with only one amusement-the old Curtis Robin
airplane. Luckily for him, a family friend gave him the chance
to ride it himself. As soon as the engine roared to life and the
airplane lurched forward across the rough pasture and into the sky
where he could see the beautiful view from above, he knew right
then that he wanted to go flying for the rest of his life. Now in his
late 70's Bangart relives his wonderful journey through the skies
and life to bring inspiration to others. In this autobiography, he
reminisces his adventures as a pilot during the Great Depression,
treating the reader with an inside look at growing to manhood
during the first half of the twentieth century. His descriptions of the
early days of Alaska bush flying, and the trials and hazards of the
early airline flying are given in great detail.
A person does not have to be a pilot or airplane enthusiast
to enjoy this book. It covers such things as driving the Alaska-
Canadian highway both in summer and winter weather, making
a home in Alaska with a new bride, how government has brought
many changes in our lives, and many insights into life itself. If you
have been a passenger on an airliner during these early years,
this book will give you a perception to what went on behind the
closed cabin door where the pilots were secluded.
