Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing. 446, [2] pages. Illustrations. Index. Bob Buck was for a time the youngest licensed pilot in the United States and in 1930, at age 16, he broke the junior transcontinental speed record in a Pitcairn Mailwing. Because the age requirement for licensing was soon raised to 17, his record stands to this day. Bob went on to a career at TWA, flying as Captain in everything from the DC-2 to the 747. Bob became chief pilot of TWA in 1945, accepted delivery of the airline's first Constellation, and flew the first TWA revenue flight in a 747. His book "Weather Flying" remains a best seller on that subject and his memoir "North Star over My Shoulder" was published in 2005. He was a steady contributor to Air Facts and to The Reader's Digest. He died in 2007 at the age of 93. Memoirs of an aviation pioneer. During World War II he was engaged in weather research for the U.S. Air Corps, for which he was awarded, as a civilian, the Air Medal by President Harry Truman. More recently, Buck has worked with the International Civil Aviation Organization -- the UN's body for aviation -- to develop a new plan of world airspace. In North Star over My Shoulder, Bob Buck tells of a life spent up and over the clouds, and of the wonderful places and marvelous people who have been a part of that life. He captures the feel, taste, and smell of flying's great early era -- how the people lived, what they did and felt, and what it was really like to be a part of the world as it grew smaller and smaller. A terrific storyteller and a fascinating man, Bob Buck has turned his well-lived life into a delightful memoir for anyone who remembers when there really was something special in the air. …
