Just to get you excited and captivated
the comfortable cliche that 'man is master of his fate.' As far as
pilots are concerned, fate (or death) is a hunter who is constantly in
pursuit of them.... There is nothing depressing about Fate Is the
Hunter. There is tension and suspense in it but there is great humor
too. Happily Gann never gets too technical for the layman to
understand."- saturday review
" This purely wonderful autobiographical volume is the best thing on
flying and the meaning of flying that we have had since Antoine de
Saint-Exupery took us aloft on his winged prose in the late 1930's
and early 1940's.... It is a splendid and many-faceted personal memoir
that is not only one man's story but the story, in essence, of all men
who fly."- Chicago sunday tribune
