" Navigating the C-124 Globemaster is a serious and important work, equal parts aviation/navigation history and old-fashioned travelogue. The writing gurus are always talking about the textural imperative of storytelling...sights, sounds, smells, tastes. Well, mission accomplished, it's all there. Reading this work, I felt like I was in that bubble and cockpit with Lt. Higgins and crew, out in the netherworld of the Pacific or reversing engines in a typhoon of dust on a makeshift runway at Pleiku, Vietnam. An adventure in aviation not to be missed."--Phil Karber, two-time Lowell Thomas medalist and author of Postmarks from a Political Traveler; Fear and Faith in Paradise: Exploring Conflict and Religion in the Middle East and The Indochina Chronicles: Travels in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, " Navigating the C-124 Globemaster is a serious and important work, equal parts aviation/navigation history and old-fashioned travelogue.
