Together We Fly

$13.49

$13.49
From:Independent Publishers Group 0

Document Overview:

Over its 70-year history, the Douglas DC–3 has shaped virtually every life that it has touched. Those lives, and why this airplane mattered to them, come alive in the book Together We Fly: Voices From the DC–3. The author uses narratives collected from engineers, builders, pilots, stewardesses, baggage loaders, ramp crew, mechanics, soldiers, and passengers to illustrate each period of the airplane's history. Beginning with Donald Douglas, through the airplane's development and flight test, initial airline success, war service, regional airline use, life as a cargo hauler, and current expression as an airshow favorite—the voices tell the story of the airplane. Each chapter begins with a narrative, a story that leads the reader into that part of the airplane's life. From that launch point, the author goes into further detail about how the airplane came to life, served, or transformed during that period, and how it changed the people around it. The book concludes with the airplane in one of its present-day roles: an airshow favorite. Though it continues to work for its living, the DC-3 truly shines as it inspires the next generation. Standing next to GlobalFlyer at EAA Airventure 2005 was "Duggy," a DC-3 flown by the National Aviation Hall of Fame/Odegaard Aviation as part of an educational project to reach out to elementary school kids about the people in aviation and how their character has shaped our world. And Duggy is one of many DC-3s at airshows around the country who fulfill a similar mission. The book release corresponds with the 75th anniversary of this amazing airplane – helping to celebrate the birthday of one of aviation's greatest inventions. The response the author received from her 70th anniversary article, "Douglas DC-3: Together We Fly," published in AOPA Pilot, December 2005, was not only from pilots who flew the DC-3/C-47, but also from an infantryman who rode in the back of one on Christmas Day 1944 over France, and from the husband of a former Am
