The Great American Air Circus

A wry, comic tale involving obscure geniuses, death-defying daredevils, wild-eyed dreamers and -- just now and then -- fearless heroes. Welcome to The Great American Air Circus, a period piece about life in the straw-covered world of flight in the mid-to-late 20th century. The story of how one pilot found freedom in the cockpits of tiny airplanes in vast expanses of sky makes a great read for the armchair-based daredevil, but ultimately it is a story about a universe that runs on faith, and how faith can be so powerful it prompts believers to astounding leaps, even across mountains.
