JEPPESEN: A BIOGRAPHY BY HIS SON Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a person who desired a career in aviation as a pilot... and finally accomplished this desire, I find this book extremely thorough and fascinating. This was a man who lived through the age of learning about aviation safey. He was a true pioneer and was probably the most important person that made our skies safe. This book points out the trials he went through in order to accomplish this objective. Both from our government and also through competion. A must read for anyone interested in the history of aviation.

Plane crashes... by the hundreds. This was not a safe business. There was nothing to copy, no one to learn from. Nobody knew about metal fatigue and G forces. Nobody knew what damage hail could do to an airplane flying at 120 mph. Nobody knew what turbulence could do to an airplane. Nobody knew icing would kill the lift on wings. There were no gyro's, no instruments, no navigation facilities, no beacons, no rules, no regulations, no aircraft standards and no airports in the early days. Just young men and their flying machines that would bet their lives to pioneer a mega billion dollar industry.
