4.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent read.,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gentlemen of Adventure (Hardcover)
In Gentlemen of Adventure, Gann continues his tradition - weaving a "people" story around (one of) his area(s) of expertise - flying. The characters are interesting, the plot is well developed, and I liked it. At one point I thought I had caught Mr. Gann in an historical contradiction. However - yes - Boeing did introduce the pressurized model 307 Stratoliner before Pearl Harbor. It's not his best book, but certainly well worth a read. I preferred "The High and the Mighty" in aviation fiction, and "The Antagonists" and/or "Twilight for the Gods" in his non-flying fiction. A minor (but obtrusive) point: My copy (Arbor House, 1983) suffers considerably from electronic spell-checking as a substitute for proofreading - in which the wrong correctly-spelled word is frequently substituted for a misspelled (or unrecognized) word.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book on friendships made for a lifetime!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gentleman of Adventure (Charnwood Library) (Hardcover)
This book is recommended especially for any reader with an
interest in aviation, but may also have appeal to those who
love stories of friendships made for life. Following the
characters through their adventures, joy and sorrow will
move any reader and touch them perhaps like no other book
has. It is a shame that more of this authors books are not
readily available and being published still.

Good "Adventure" - - -,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gentlemen of Adventure (Hardcover)
Gann uses real people and places in this exciting story of two men who share the love of flying - one more reckless and wild than the other. Story takes place from nearly the dawn of aviation to the era of the big airlines. Good story line and better characters. A page turner.
