Senior Birdman The Guy Who Just Had to Fly.

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.Price, Eldon is the author of 'Senior Birdman The Guy Who Just Had to Fly.', published 2006 under ISBN 9780595364220 and ISBN 0595364225.
