Flying In The Real World

Vern Foster’s early beginnings on a depression era Kansas farm led to an improbable career as an accomplished aviator. His memoir is an inspiring story. There were good times and hard times as Vern tenaciously pursued an aviation career that spanned 72 years and over 12,000 flying hours. Whether flying the Pacific during WWII or circumnavigating Australia as a member of a Down Under Flying Safari , this memoir provides an absorbing account of one pilot’s adventures and accomplishments from the late 30’s to 2014.
