Opis

The legendary Boeing Stearman biplane was the primary trainer aircraft for America's pilots during World War II. The author, owner of a restored 1941 Stearman, retraced the wartime journeys of his plane, touching down on each of the eight bases at which it served. His experiences in meeting, talking, and flying with the men who flew the Stearman and fought the war paint a picture of the plane's times as the author weaves the pilots' thoughts and recollections throughout the narrative of his trip. Their adventures recall a time when ordinary young Americans were called upon to be heroes.
