About the Author
Geza Szurovy is an award-winning aviation journalist whose professional pilot qualifications include a Douglas DC-3 type rating. During his early childhood he fell in love with the propliners that took him to the remotest regions of the globe where his father prospected for oil. His main interest lies in personally experiencing the different historic eras of flight by flying period aircraft and seeking the link between surviving aviation artifacts and the social history they represent. His previous books include The Art of the Airways, Wings of Yesteryear, Classic American Airlines, Executive Jets, and Cessna Citation Jets.
