Synopsis

This book is a historical exploration of the life of Daniel B. Burnett, Jr., whose life was irrevocably intertwined with aviation from a young age. The author traces Burnett's early passion for airplanes, which began with a silent film screening when he was just three years old. Through his teenage years Burnett's life is punctuated by encounters with significant aviation figures such as Earle Ovington and Eddie Rickenbacker, and by his involvement in pioneering efforts in aviation education and promotion. The author places Burnett's experiences within the broader narrative of aviation history in Southern California, and discusses the lasting impact that Burnett's contributions have had on the region's legacy of aerospace achievement.
