Whether searching the stratosphere for aliens or wartime enemies, flying solo for the first time or the thousandth, the authors in 'Great Flying Stories' reveal that the cockpit of an airplane can be one of the scariest, loneliest, most exciting and sometimes most peaceful places in the world.
As master storytellers Edgar Allen Poe, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, H.G. Wells, Richard Bach and others illustrate in this collection, the sky is a fascinating arena for a short story, and the cockpit of an airplane the perfect chamber for developing unforgettable characters.
These stories run the gamut of emotions, opening with humor and closing with heroic courage. In between are stories of the supernatural, the mysterious and the brutally realistic, each one a classic about the wonders and dangers of flying.
