Abstract

en_US
Travolta writes in his introduction: I thought if perhaps I could create a fictitious situation mixed with some true personality types and stories I remembered over the years, I could create a fable that would be entertaining (xi). This is no fable, but it is a charming and entertaining story of the first experience of aviation by a boy who was entranced by it before, during, and after. He had saved his pennies, scoured flight schedules, and found in 1962 this old United milk-run with a DC-6 propeller plane that flew across the United States in short hops: Newark-Pittsburgh-Cleveland-Chicago-Des Moines-Denver-Las Vegas-Los Angeles. The title was the schedule's description of this flight; it cost $95, and children flew for half-fare. On the way we read delightful experiences of airports, airplane food (chicken cordon bleu too often!), an old bunk, a cockpit visit, a broken toy airplane, a beautiful stewardess, and even a surprise flight on an all-first-class Caravelle. Only the right-hand pages are printed.
