Since we're on the subject of travel books, I have a couple of other favorites:

The American Eagle : The Ascent of Bob Crandall and American Airlines

ISBN: 0312224532

An American Saga : Juan Trippe and His Pan Am Empire

ISBN: 039450223X

Unfortunately, both of these books are out of print. If you need help finding them plz email me and I'll do what I can.

These two men are my aviation heroes -- unique personalities in a business I truly love...
