A Barnstormer Aviator: My personal journey to scarf and goggles flying in the 1930s - Paperback

by Nick Vuyosevich (Author), Anderson Nina (Editor)

Nick Vuyosevich's flying tales were told to his daughter Nina Anderson, author of 20 books and a retired professional pilot, who produced this archival treasure. His stories encompass a myriad of untold flying lore including a chat with Chamberlin who divulged the reason he technically lost to Lindbergh in his famous Atlantic crossing. Not only a story for pilots, Nick gives us an historical look at life in the 1930s, and the struggles the average flyboy had when aviation was emerging from its infancy. Crashes, an engine failure over the George Washington bridge, nighttime flights without instruments, creating flying clubs and airports and more is woven into his personal journal.
