Produktinformationen zu „Senior Birdman (ePub)“
Senior Birdman: The Guy Who Just Had to Fly is the autobiography of one man's improbable rise from a humble farming community to the glamour and glitz of southern California, the epicenter of aviation development. Starting with an awe-inspiring moment in a desolate field in western Nebraska, the book will wing you-in Forrest Gump-like fashion-through a series of vignettes that bump into the lives of prominent historical figures like General Omar Bradley, Howard Hughes, even Hugh Heffner. Unedited and as raw as a diary, Senior Birdman jumps like a crop duster from naval pre-flight training to McDonnell Douglas to the launch of the DC-8 Jetliner to numerous fly-by commentaries about people, places, big government and life. If you loved the movie The Aviator, you'll want to climb into the cockpit with Eldon Price-pilot, aeronautical engineer, aerospace executive, and family man-and take this short, literary flight through some of aviation history's defining moments.
Autoren-Porträt von Eldon N. Price
Eldon N. Price was born in St. Paul, Nebraska. He joined the Navy in 1944 and became a fully commissioned naval aviator. Like Chuck Yeager and other contemporaries, he experienced the exhilaration?and, often, the terror?of flight-testing. With an aeronautical degree from California Polytechnic State University and more than forty years of industry experience, Eldon Price is an expert in aeronautical engineering. During his tenure at McDonnell Douglas, he and others spearheaded the launch of key programs such as the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM), the KC-10 Supertanker and the Navy Harpoon cruise missile. Mr. Price also invented the speed and altitude calibration system still used with commercial airliners today. Eldon lives in Omaha with Marjorie, his wife of 50 years. He has two daughters and a son, as well as eight grandchildren.
