Ferrari, Michael

Michael Ferrari has worked as an English teacher, vacuum cleaner salesman, freight dockworker, lipstick machine operator, air-to-air cameraman, network TV censor, and feature film editor. He got the idea for "Born to Fly" at a World War II air show when he overheard a boy tell his little sister as she climbed inside a P-40 cockpit that girls can never be fighter pilots. It broke her heart. He wrote the story for her, and his daughters.
