Synopsis
Pioneer Pilot, a personal account of the early years of aviation, is based on the 1911-1931 journals of Walter E. Lees, an Early Bird. Like many other mechanics, engineers, and flyers of those early days, Lees was an unsung hero. Lees was determined to fly. And fly he did - soloing Billy Mitchell, checking Lindbergh out on a diesel, and in 1931, setting an endurance record which stood until the Voyager's flight in 1986. Besides Lees' journals, the author has included newspaper reports, letters, and interviews with friends, associated, and Lees' wife, Loa, who regularly packed up their ever-growing family and household to follow him and his dream all over the country. Also included are many never before published photographs. This book is a must for aviation buffs as well as those who enjoy stories of endurance and courage fulfilled.
