Nostalgia,
By Sally Hoffman (Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oshkosh Memories: Reflections on the World's Greatest Fly-In (Paperback)
Jill and Lars captured the very essence of airshowing. It's all about friends, family, and fun and they certainly captured all of that. We have never attended Oshkosh but hope to in the near future. They certainly gave us a birds eye view of what it's all about and we look forward to their next book.

Oshkosh Memories,
By BruceRTalbot (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oshkosh Memories: Reflections on the World's Greatest Fly-In (Paperback)
What's bigger than the Ky. Derby and the Indy 500 COMBINED? Why, the largest air show in the world known simply as "Oshkosh." This book tells the wonderful stories of the word's greatest aviation event in the words of the pilots and their support teams that make it the greatest show on earth. The book has plenty of aviation superstars but also the average pilot who tells their stories of the years of work it takes to produce a home-made airplane and fly it to the Mecca of sport aviation, Oshkosh, B-gosh! Great book for young adults looking for a positive direction in life.
