Wild Blue collects the most gripping accounts of what some would call the greatest achievement of the century: controlled flight.

Gann describes how the nocturnal spell of copiloting a DC-2 at night is broken by the unexpected terror of ice on its wings; a young ace named Chuck Yeager shatters the sound barrier and then loses consciousness in a violently tumbling rocket-plane. From the soaring to the harrowing, show more from flying a Piper Cub over the Rockies at the age of 14 to a nighttime carrier approach with an anxious, rusty lieutenant, Wild Blue puts readers right in the cockpit. show less

Most of the book was fascinating and funny, but the last two sections went to talking about nineties worry of global warming.
