- selimthegrim 3y agoI’m assuming this is the father of William?
- sowbug 3y agoCorrect! Current editions include a foreword written by William. Wolfgang is much better known for Stick And Rudder, which is about technical aspects of aviation.
- m3047 3y agoIf you want romance of flying, and depending on your style of "romance", you might try _Glacier Pilot_ a biography of Bob Reeve who came back from flying in South America as a bush pilot with undiagnosed polio, made it to Alaska, and perfected the art of crash landing on glaciers as a perfectly normal way of doing business. The book was written by Beth Day (Romulo?) who I believe was his granddaughter.
