Please Let Me Fly
Author: Grace Huntington
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0557013119
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Please Let Me Fly is the revealing life-story of Grace Huntington, an unsung hero who exemplified what it meant to be anything but a stereotypical woman. Huntington gives us a glimpse of what it was like to set her own course which clashed with her mother's and society's ideas. Perhaps nothing personifies the defiant personality of Grace Huntington more than her success in male dominated industries of flying and screenwriting. As a professional pilot, she set an altitude records for light planes in 1938 and 1940. And as a resilient symbol of strength to American women, she describes her experiences while working as the only woman "story man" for Walt Disney and demonstrates her persistence while trying to find a job in aviation. Please Let Me Fly brings to life her story more than sixty years later. The book includes lost documents, letters and photos that tell the story of a remarkable woman who served as inspiration to all women seeking their own defined roles in society.

Book Description
No aircraft ever captured the curiosity & fascination of the public like the SR-71 Blackbird. Nicknamed "The Sled" by those few who flew it, the aircraft was shrouded in secrecy from its inception. Entering the U.S. Air Force inventory in 1966, the SR-71 was the fastest, highest flying jet aircraft in the world. Now for the first time, a Blackbird pilot shares his unique experience of what it was like to fly this legend of aviation history. Through the words & photographs of retired Major Brian Shul, we enter the world of the "Sled Driver." Major Shul gives us insight on all phases of flying, including the humbling experience of simulator training, the physiological stresses of wearing a space suit for long hours, & the intensity & magic of flying 80,000 feet above the Earth's surface at 2000 miles per hour. SLED DRIVER takes the reader through riveting accounts of the rigors of initial training, the gamut of emotions experienced while flying over hostile territory, & the sheer joy of displaying the jet at some of the world's largest airshows. Illustrated with rare photographs, seen here for the first time, SLED DRIVER captures the mystique & magnificence of this most unique of all aircraft.
