Synopsis
Winged History - The Life and Times of Kenneth L. Chastain, Aviator is a must read for anyone interested in 20th century American aviation history. The visually documented chronicle, written by Chastain's only son, Ken Jr., traces the life of an American pilot over a period of 37 years and aircraft from early wood and fabric, small horsepower biplanes to the advanced Boeing 707 jetliner. In addition, Ken Jr. adds his intimate perspective on being the son of a professional pilot. Like most pilots of his era, Ken Sr flew military aircraft during World War II. Winged History details major milestones in American political and technological history, interwoven with Chastain's historical aviation adventures.

From the Publisher
Born just 10 years after the Wright Brothers made their historic trip to the skies, Kenneth L. Chastain's driving passion in life was flying. While Chastain's son, Kenneth L. Chastain, Jr. never cared to follow his father's path into the wild blue yonder, life brought them together as a family in a way they never dreamed possible. Winged History: The Life and Times of Kenneth L. Chastain, Aviator, is the story of how a father and son traveled different roads in life, but wound up in remarkably the same place. Kenneth L. Chastain, Jr. lovingly recorded the story of his father's life during Kenneth Sr.'s final years, and the reslult of those efforts is put on display in Winged History. Don't miss out on ordering this moving remembrance from Turner Publishing Company!
