arts music and photography,performing arts,transportation, Fragile Wings and Gentle Giants, In 1932, the author Harold Salut responded to the irrestible call of the beauty and exitement of flight by joining the Nord Air Flying Circus. He became one of the aerial vagabonds called 'barnstormers' who flew contraptions called aeroplanes made of sticks and wires covered with cotton cloth. Becoming a member of the Flying Circus meant Harold entered a world where pilots were seen as leather clad, dusty booted and nameless aviators who were either idolized or called 'damned fools'. Crashes were unavoidable with death sometimes the reality of their tired old airplanes. This book will draw you into a different time and a different life.
