The Boy Who Liked Airplanes by Bill Blake

"The Boy Who Liked Airplanes" is a gripping, whimsical autobiography of a young boy, in the early days of flight, that loved looking at, dreaming about, drawing, flying, and everything else "Airplanes". The story starts at small municipal airport in Iowa and follows "the boy" through his school years, his life in the military, flight training, and solo up until "the girl" came along. The story includes dozens of illustrations by the author to help the reader visualize what "the boy" saw every time he was near an airplane.
