Aviators and armchair pilots-make room for this engaging book. Experience open-cockpit flying with the men and women who flew the antique Waco UPF-7, NC29923, a 1940 biplane still flying today. Enjoy true escapades as you soar with a noted aviatrix, War II pilots, a freight dog, a tax evader, a crop duster, a missionary dentist, a prominent woman sculptor, a drug smuggler and an airline captain through their flying careers. An airplane alone can be a boring subject, but the people around this one are not. Learn how Waco '923 nearly met total destruction only to be rebuilt several times---from basket case to show piece. As the Prop Turns, by John Wood, fits well with other adventure books, and few airplane books contain as many engaging stories about the Waco UPF-7. A chapter for pilots describes the Waco's handling and provides operational tips. With thousands of research hours, 235 pages and 135 photographs, drawings, and maps, this airplane's memoir is sure to top the true adventure list.
