It was during a time when his family was financially down that the
author discovered his passion. In a county fair where it was even
hard for him and his mother to experience a single ride, he found
himself fascinated with only one amusement-the old Curtis Robin
airplane. Luckily for him, a family friend gave him the chance to
ride it himself. As soon as the engine roared to life and the
airplane lurched forward across the rough pasture and into the sky
where he could see the beautiful view from above, he knew right
then that he wanted to go flying for the rest of his life. Now in
his late 70's Bangart relives his wonderful journey through the
skies and life to bring inspiration to others. In this
autobiography, he reminisces his adventures as a pilot during the
Great Depression, treating the reader with an inside look at
growing to manhood during the first half of the twentieth century.
His descriptions of the early days of Alaska bush flying, and the
trials and hazards of the early airline flying are given in great
detail. A person does not have to be a pilot or airplane enthusiast
to enjoy this book. It covers such things as driving the Alaska-
Canadian highway both in summer and winter weather, making a home
in Alaska with a new bride, how government has brought many changes
in our lives, and many insights into life itself. If you have been
a passenger on an airliner during these early years, this book will
give you a perception to what went on behind the closed cabin door
where the pilots were secluded.
