“Flying Vagabond” puts you squarely in the cockpit with Captain Eddie and his many adventures. His love of aviation is evident in these many antidotes and his development from low time pilot flying marginal WWII equipment (read big radial engines) to international captain of state of art corporate jet aircraft is spellbinding. Few pilots would admit to many of these “adventures”, but Captain Eddie allows you to sit in his “office” while he takes on weather, aircrew, aircraft and Aviation Authority (read FAA) in order to complete his missions. I found this book to be an excellent aviation read that shows a “real life” portrait of what aviation was like in the 1960’s to the early 21st century. It is a history of an OLD and BOLD (sometimes not so smart) pilot that you will find most enjoyable and very difficult to put down. ENJOY!!!”
