Just Off the Ground : Recollections of an Early Aviator

This is a memoir of the author's flying career, starting with his flight training at March Field, California, in the mid-1920s, his days flying PT-3s and DH-4s; and his training in attack aviation with the Army Air Corps at Kelly Field, Texas, through to his hours in a Curtiss Falcon A-3s and his second-place finish in the Patrick Trophy race in 1930. Written in witty, casual prose, this book is great fun for all military aviation enthusiasts.
