Lyrical Aviator
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
What a wonderful book! I'm not much of a flier, but I enjoy traveling and this book takes you everywhere. From the wilds of Alaska to the treacherous Caribbean, this book allows you to experience the excitement of traveling in a small plane, without leaving the comfort of your armchair. And the tidbits about the different pilots were wonderful. I would definitely recommend.
Fun, informative, engaging reading.

Combining poetry, prose and pictures, Sandra McClinton recounts her and her husband's remarkable journey in an old four-seater Cessna 172-RG flying over tropical locales and craggy Alaskan passes, to meet aviators who had shaped aviation history. The account of the McClinton's journey through North and South America is one of flying across America, the wilds of Canada and Alaska, island-hopping the Caribbean islands, learning about extraordinary people like Amelia Earhart, Charles Lindbergh, the Wright Brothers, and others who pioneered the way for modern aviators. Lyrical Aviators: Traveling America's Airways In A Small Plane is fun, informative, engaging reading for students of aviation history, flying enthusiasts, and armchair adventurers from first page to last.
A wonderful blend of autobiography, travelogue & history.

She was afraid to fly; he had wanted to fly a plane his entire life. Together they took an old plane to the far corners of Alaska, meeting fellow aviators and sharing a remarkable dream in the process. Lyrical Aviators is hard to easily categorize but any interested in travel and small plane adventures will relish this blend of autobiography, travelogue and history.
