MY FAVORITE STORIES

Over the years, I have discovered and reported a number of aviation stories that were so great that I have re-told them many times. In this section, I'll tell them at least one more time.

The list will grow as I mine my old files.


"Travels With A Duck." Some reporters tell it from the Back of the Bus; this one tells it from the Campaign Plane. It's still insanity, no matter which locale.


"Eight Days East." Wiley Post, Harold Gatty and the Winnie Mae take on the world.


"Forty Minutes to Pearl." The Anzac Clipper's ironic "near miss."
