In 1911, a legally deaf, beginner pilot with limited training and only 90 minutes of solo flying experience took on newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst's $50,000 challenge to be the first aviator to fly across America in 30 days or less. The transcontinental flight was considered by most to be an extremely dangerous and nearly impossible feat, considering roughly half of all pilots perished in the early years of aviation. Less than a decade since the Wright brothers flew at Kitty Hawk, a time when less than two percent of the country had even seen an airplane, Calbraith "Cal" Perry Rodgers drew tens of thousands of people to watch him fly. He survived a grueling journey, making history by becoming the first person to complete an east-to-west transcontinental flight. In a flimsy aircraft prone to mechanical failure, Rodgers crashed an astonishing 16 times, narrowly avoiding death on numerous occasions. By the time he had reached California and the coast where he would land, on the sand at Long Beach, his story of courage and determination had captured the imagination of an entire nation. This book chronicles the life of Cal Rodgers and depicts the world of aviation during its adventurous, if dangerous, beginnings.

Download and read online ebook An Aviator's Journal write by James D. Fox. This book was released on 2011-08-17. An Aviator's Journal available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This is the story of a young man’s dream come true, the problems he faced when he got there, how he faced those problems, and what happened as a result. The story is not only about flying, but also about human nature. After all, the people who fly airplanes, are still just people, and enhanced or encumbered by the position where they find themselves. The author often sees situations from the humorous side, so you can expect some laughs as well as some heart stopping adventures. Technical points are explained for the technically challenged. It is easy reading and contains no love interest. Sorry, Mrs. Parker. The author’s high school English teacher suggested that stories should contain a love interest if expected to have a commercial value.
