Col. Lou Martin, USAF (ret.) obtained his pilot's license at age
17, and for the next 50 years flew aircraft as diverse as the Piper
Cub, single-engine jets, and large military and civilian
transports. He was an Air Force pilot of 22 years, a Japan Airlines
Captain for five, a chartered pilot in Iran for three and an FAA
pilot inspector for 19. During his 19,000 hours in the air he
experienced many interesting -- and sometimes dangerous -- events
that could have ended his exciting flying career. In Close
Encounters With the Pilot's Grim Reaper he presents a pilot's true
story, in autobiographical format, of close encounters he
experienced during sixty years of military and civilian flying,
plus encounters, some fatal of aviation colleagues. With 540 pages
and more than 80 illustrations. These photos embellish the reader's
concept while they accompany Lou as he reminisces, with remarkable
clarity, his fascinating life. For those of you who have read his
award-winning book, Wings over Persia, you are in for another great
read!
