The complete A to Z of flying jargon.

Dick Locher is the Chicago Tribune's Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist. An Air Force pilot from 1951 to 1953 and now a captain in the Air Force Reserve, he learned to fly in an old Mitchell B-25 bomber and later piloted B-47s, B-58s, and F-94s. Locher designed the world's first fly-powered airplane. He illustrates the world-famous comic strip Dick Tracy and he's drawn the box art for Mattel-Monogram model airplanes. Locher's paintings of airplanes hang in the Air Force Museum gallery in Colorado Springs. Michael Kilian is a Chicago Tribune humorist whose columns are distributed to more than 100 newspapers in the United States and Canada. A captain in the U.S. Air Force Civil Air Patrol, he flew general aviation aircraft and sailplanes in the Midwest. He is also sports editor for the Encyclopedia Britannica Book of the Year and author of five other books.
