_by Captain J. J. Grayson_
From the moment Bob Martin and Hal Gregg knew that Captain Bill, flier
and storyteller extraordinary, was coming to visit the Martins, they
anticipated an exciting summer. And exciting it was—for they learned to
fly and even soloed. But even more fascinating were the tales Captain
Bill and the boys told about the men of adventure in aviation—the
Wrights, Lindbergh, Admiral Byrd, James Doolittle, and others.
Captain Grayson has told the exciting true stories of men who made
aviation history. _Boys’ Book of Famous Fliers_ is the stirring,
dramatic story of aviation itself, as embodied in the figures of
America’s most famous fliers.
