About this ebook
Some of the great reading you’ll find inside:
Who was the first man to perform a powered flight in Great Britain? . . . A few U.S.A.A.F. pilots of WWII wore wings that had the propeller broken off. What was their job in the military? . . . How many engines powered the LZ 129 Hindenburg? . . . Famous quotes from the Red baron and others . . . Which aircraft had the world’s first in-flight toilet? . . . Aircraft nick names, and a 1921 interview with German WWI pilots from an early aviation magazine on the merits of the parachute! These questions and answers as well as other little known aviation facts and rumors are for free reading in Book 1.
Author
Robert P McAuley
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, I now reside in Long Beach, N.Y. I worked in New York City as an Art Director for 3 different magazines one of which was UFO magazine. I've been writing short stories for the past 20 years and found Time Travel to be my favorite topic. After writing Time Travel Adventures of the 1800 Club: Book 1, I wrote books 2 through 18 and am presently working on book 19. In between I've penned a young adult time travel book, two aviation trivia books, a book about a family of vampires, a romantic western and another time travel book plus 'Sky Ship', a high-action thriller.
