Flying the Rim

This personal account of the author's search for uranium in the 1950s tells about the excitement, the disappointments, and the discoveries of a pilot-geologist team flying a Piper Super Cub in the rim country of the Southwest. Written as a memoir, it looks back at the author's experience as a pilot in the postwar propeller navy and forward to flying in the nineties after a two-decade hiatus. It is a story about youthful adventure, visions of wealth, and the allure of flying written for people of all ages wishing to escape the ordinary.
