Every Pilot's Journey Begins with a Dream
Long before he flew the world's skies, George Gewehr was a young boy in Los Angeles with an unshakable dream of becoming a pilot. Volume One traces that dream from its earliest beginnings through his first job as a United Air Lines baggage handler, his flight training, and his first professional flying assignments with Vegas Airways and Stewart Air Service. Set against the backdrop of Southern California during aviation's postwar boom, this richly illustrated memoir introduces the determination, adventure, and passion that would define a lifetime in the cockpit. Filled with vivid memories, colorful personalities, and unforgettable moments from aviation's Golden Age, this opening installment of a planned multi-volume series lays the foundation for an extraordinary life in flight-and the remarkable people and events that shaped it.
