Looking for a great gift for your pilot (or wannabe pilot)
friends, or for yourself? This is it! Folks who order one
copy of this hilarious book come back to us for more copies
in order to bring the gift of laughter to their friends.
You Want to Build and Fly a WHAT? is the boisterous,
wildly exaggerated true story of Dick Starks, a Kansas City
math teacher who goes through the agonies and delights of
learning to fly under the guidance of an old veteran CFI
and A&P named Virgil, buys a down-in-the-tires Cessna 120
and learns about the tribulations of aircraft ownership
the hard way.
Dick then gets bitten by the homebuilding bug and goes on
to build and fly a replica of a WWI Nieuport 11 fighter
plane. He becomes part of the "Dawn Patrol", a group of
airborne lunatics who fly out of a tiny strip and are
constantly challenging one another to strange types of
aerial combat.
Most of all, You Want to Build and Fly a WHAT? is
about the fun of flying and the joy of sharing that fun
with family and friends. It is hilariously illustrated by
the greatest aviation cartoonist of all time, Bob Stevens.
