Book Reviews of Fly Fast...Sin Boldly
Book Review: One of the world's greatest pilots . . . he did it his way!
Summary: 5 Stars
A sad night for me. I finished reading the last word of this remarkable book. I wanted it to last forever. This author has a unique ability of putting the writer's personality on paper. These writers are few and far between. To read this book is to know Bill Lear, Jr. Everyone should be so lucky. Bill has lived all his years under the shadow of a famous father who often ridiculed him and pulled against him for most of it. Contrary to what most men believe, he did it himself! He had the guts to do it his way and do it he did. He lived a life of his dreams. Most men haven't. The book allowed me to tag along with him and share his dreams and his failures through out the pages of this book. Bill is not afraid to say - I was wrong or it was my foolish mistake. How many men can?
It is a dream come true for those interested in flying but it opens up a whole new world for those new to the skies.
It leaves not a doubt in my mind that Bill, Jr. was a superior pilot to his father yet the 'genius' genes are there. He must be considered one of the world's great pilots. It will be a surprise to those who, perhaps, have thought of him as a playboy and the son of a very rich man who gave him everything. He was not and papa did not. Ironically, perhaps this is why he achieved what he did! He followed his dreams the hard way. He was not satisfied with chopping down the tree - he dug out the roots. Everyone's life will be enriched by knowing this writer and know him you will if you read this book.
