Bill Barnard lived many of the great events of the 20th century. At 17, he joined the Depression navy. He sailed to Japanese-occupied China and saw, heard, smelled, tasted, and felt more than many do in a lifetime. Later, he was under the Hindenburg when it exploded. He flew 11,000 hours in every kind of plane, in combat and foul weather, and never bent a wingtip. A "mustang", Bill was one of only 15 enlisted pilots to ever earn a Captain's eagle wings. He met Presidents, aviation pioneers, astronauts, and movie stars in his 40-year aviation career. Used Book in Good Condition
