Fantastic Flying Tales
Fantastic Flying tales is a heavily-illustrated, 70-page softcover book of true flying stories. It contains eleven illustrated stories of aviation adventure. Eight of them are true. Two are historical fiction based on true events. One is arguably nonsense, but pretty funny. They are ALL unusual and entertaining. This book will put you in the cockpit as you...
- Fly with the brave men who deliberately piloted their Black Widows into the hearts of fierce storm clouds in "The Thunderstorm Project". (previously published in Warbird Digest)
- Ride along with a doomed test pilot turned astronaut in "Icarus".
- Hunt for Iraqi tanks beneath the smoke-filled skies of Kuwait in "Flying Tigers and Burning Lions".
- Find out what happens when you fill a B-25 with snakes in "Wild Cargo".
- Retrace the flight path of pilots past in "My Father's Things".
- Face off against the aerial Red Menace during the Cold War in "The Battle of Palmdale".
- Learn how the attack on Pearl Harbor led to the release of Star Trek: The Motion Picture exactly 38 years later in "Beyond Bombers".
- Dive into the largest armored battle in history in "The Gunslinger".
- Share the terror of an RAF bomber crew being stalked by a German night fighter in "Dead Reckoning".
- Laugh at a humorous comparison between "F-35 vs The Spitfire"
- Duck and cover from the most terrifying aerial weapon ever conceived in "Project Pluto"
Just read what these influential people are saying about it...

Note: I can only ship within the continental USA. If you live abroad, you will have to contact me for a quote on shipping, and owing to whatever problems are plaguing overseas mail right now (pirates?), I cannot guarantee it will arrive within your lifetime.
This book is also available via Amazon.com. The Amazon copy is printed on demand, and somewhat lower in quality as a result (for example, copies purchased directly from me are printed on 80lb paper, whereas Amazon copies are 60lb paper, my copies have a title on the spine, etc...but they are a little cheaper to purchase and provide an option for those of you overseas who wish to get a copy without paying an outrageous shipping fee.
