Cubs to Bonanzas

A Sixty-Five-Year Perspective Through a Pilot’S Eyes

This is a story about one man's lifelong passion and commitment to flight, starting as a teenager and detailing the intense process of learning to fly in Piper Cubs, then sharing the many experiences of flight with its joys and sorrows as experienced by the author over a sixty-five year span. It describes the investment in time, money, and exposure to the risks associated with flight to many destinations, including Alaska, Mexico and Florida Keys, Nova Scotia and witnessing the entire United States unfold through journeys between the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, the Gulf of Mexico, Canada and beyond. This book also chronicles the struggles to provide the time, money, and personal involvement needed to produce the groundwork necessary to complete this mission. Included are the many changes in the social framework that forms a backdrop to these manifold experiences.
