Week-End Pilot

Week-End Pilot by Frank Kingston Smith. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780394710693.

Frank K. Smith did what many people dream of doing: He broke out of his workaday rut and became free as a bird. Beset by tension problems and advised by his doctor to find a relaxing hobby, he bought a nine year old used plane - and learned how to fly. Since originally published, Smith has logged more than 4,500 hours aloft. He and his family have flown all over the US, Canada, Mexico, and the Bahamas. This book is a sort of a love story - the love of a man for the freedom of flight in a light airplane.
