Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a combination autobiography of Joe Brenner, a high school friend (which is why I originally bought the book), and a history of the Flying Tigers (both the WWII gang and the airline). I bought it because of the personal connection, but I'm recommending it simply because it's a great read.
Joe spent a number of years after high school as dedicated party animal, interrupted by a few years doing a Sergeant Bilko imitation in the Army. He finally came to his senses and decided to get a job as a Flying Tiger pilot. With only a high school education, no serious flying experience, and almost 30, there was virtually no chance this would happen. But it did, thanks to some extremely improbable coincidences, the sort that I like to call a "guardian angel" story. Joe eventually became a 747 captain.
The book is full of hilarious stories about his adventures and those of many of the characters he ran into along the way.
