Talespins is a first-hand account of early aviation days including the beginning of air mail service in the United States. Talespins includes stories about other air pioneers, their training and their exploits. Included in these authentic accounts are the stories of the women who were aviation enthusiasts, and, in some cases, pilots themselves. Mrs. Culver points out that these women played a vital part in our early aviation history.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
'Culver's late husband, Paul, one of the country's earliest pilots, was a member of the team that carried the first bags of air mail. Here his wife recalls those days, when to be a pilot was to court death and when marriage to a pilot presumed early widowhood.' --Publishers Weekly
