Review Quotes

"FLYING THROUGH TIME is an absolute delight, for a master writer, Jim Doyle, akes you with him as he investigates the involved history of his beautiful Stearman. This is one of those rare books that will please pilots and poets--but especially pilots!" --Walter J. Boyne, Col., USAF (Ret.), former director of the National Air and Space Museum and author of CLASH OF WINGS: WORLD WAR II IN THE AIR "Jim Doyle has chosen a unique way to tell of his personal adventure flying around the country retracing the life of a sixty-year-old Stearman trainer. But he also does us a favor by recounting stories of the World War II veterans he met that would otherwise be lost, as well as oral histories he discovered in Midland, Texas. It is an exceptional work that deserves a place in the library of every aviation history buff." --C.V. Glines, Col., USAF (Ret.), author of ROUND-THE-WORLD FLIGHTS
