Tailwinds: Adventures of a Young Aviator
Free Ebook
What if your parents introduced you to flying at a very young age? What if you began in the 1930s when the few aviation regulations were rarely enforced? Think of the adventures you might have experienced.
Dan Poynter’s book, titled Tailwinds: Adventures of a Young Aviator, takes place in the late 30s and early 40s and is illustrated with black-and-white photos that were taken at that time and maps depicting all the places the young hero visits. Fascinating videos provide back up material and almost all were from that early era.
The book reveals the ‘story behind the story’ of many events between 1939 and 1942. The places described in the book are real as are most of the events and people. The dialogue is presumed and the main character is fictional – but he could have been real.
Until recently, ebooks were simply digital versions of the (non-illustrated) printed book. Now, authors and publishers are discovering that ebooks have more capability than books of the past. Enhanced (illustrated) ebooks can tell a story in a way that a print book never could. Read this novel on an ereader connected to the Internet to take full advantage of this enhanced ebook’s capabilities.
