Danger Flying (162 results)

Paperback. Condition: Good. The remarkable true story of a beguiling 1920s housewife who seeks international fame, fortune and adventure as an aviator but finds herself the central figure in a sensational Miami murder trial. Mrs Keith Miller, internationally known aviatrix, was taken to the county jail here today and held for investigation by State Attorney's investigators. Jail attendants said they understood she was held in connection with the shooting of an airline pilot. Petite, glamorous and charming, Jessie Chubbie Miller was a remarkable woman: flyer, thrill-seeker, heartbreaker. No adventure was too wild for her, no danger too extreme. And all over the world men adored her. When young Jessie left Australia and her newspaperman husband in 1927, little did she know that she'd become the first woman to complete an England to Australia flight (with a black silk gown thrown into her tiny flight bag, just in case), or fly in the first women's air race--with Amelia Earhart--or that she would disappear over the Bermuda Triangle feared lost forever. Nor could she have predicted that five years later she'd find herself in Miami at the center of one of the most notorious and controversial murder trials in US history. And her adventures all began with something as ridiculously mundane as a pat of butter. The Fabulous Flying Mrs Miller is a spellbinding story of an extraordinary woman--an international celebrity during the golden age of aviation--and her passionate and spirited life.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Lucky Martin is a daredevil of the skies--a test pilot who lives to break the rules and push the envelope. Sound like a perfect role for Errol Flynn? It did to Hollywood, as Flynn was cast in the movie of the same name. Lucky's a trailblazer--flying higher and faster than any pilot out there. His latest invention could change the face of air warfare and alter the balance of world power. It's The Dive Bomber--a perfectly designed aircraft for the U.S. Navy. There's only one problem--up to now every test flight has ended in disaster. The reason: sabotage.America's enemies will go to any length to get their hands on his design--from savage attacks to kidnapping his fiancée. Lucky'll have to push his luck to the very limit to save his plane, save his girl . . . and save his country. As a barnstorming pilot in the early days of aviation, Hubbard was dubbed "Flash" Hubbard by the aviation magazines of the day. Expanding his knowledge even more, he visited Boeing in Seattle where the president and chief engineer gave him an inside look at their test pilot program. His unique and pioneering insight of flight streaks across the page in novels like The Dive Bomber. "Hubbard grounds his cliffhanger adventure firmly in aeronautical details that make it thrilling." --Publishers Weekly.…
