"An airline is a corporate entity, but it also is the living, breathing sum of all the human parts that went into it . ." With those words, author Robert Serling sets the mood for this lively history of a colorful air carrier. For CEILING UNLIMITED is more than just a factual, chronological accounting of an airline's past, present and future. It tells the story of North Central from the human angle ? the executives, pilots, reservationists, station agents, stewardesses and mechanics who actu-ally lived and wrote the history. AS Such, CEILING UNLIMITED almost has the appeal of an exciting novel; it has heroes and villains, pathos and humor, drama and intrigue. It will give any airline person a feeling of pride, and it will provide the lay reader a fascinating look behind the scenes of this air carrier's in-credible, frequently rollicking biography. Profusely illustrated and tautly written by one of the nation's most respected aviation re-porters, CEILING UNLIMITED is, above all, an honest narrative ? recording failures and foibles, along with achievements and accom-plishments. For this reason, the publisher con-siders it a significant contribution to the chron-icles of America's commercial aviation history. Seller Inventory # 231104009
