Faith & Flight

by Sammy Mason

Author of the acclaimed book, Stall, Spins, and Safety (Now available as an eBook), Sammy Mason wrote this autobiography about his adventures as a pilot. You will find this wonderful read is more than just an autobiography. While it does cover much of his life as an instructor, aerobatic champion and test pilot, it also gives the reader lessons on life. What happens when a boy, who, in the opinions of his teachers and employers, seems destined to become a failure, drops out of school to follow his dream of becoming a pilot? This book recounts the excitement and adventure of pursuing a flying career during the Golden Age of Aviation. We learn how an indomitable will to amount to something propels a young man toward greater and greater achievement. Then how that will, coupled with an ever-increasing faith in something greater than himself, turns a potential failure into a man with tremendous depth of character, filled with wisdom, wit and a humble spirit. Whether or not you’re an aviation buff, you’ll enjoy Sammy’s easy-going style as he narrates the fascinating adventure of his life. Discover how a faith in God became an indelible and positive element of his personality, influencing his life and career. Discover too how, as a grieving father, his faith was not weakened but strengthened by the loss of a son who pursued a career they both dearly loved.

An outstanding autobiography by an outstanding pilot and man of faith. He lived his life dedicated to his god, his family and his career as a pilot, leaving a lasting legacy.

A great story of a very special man who broke many records and inspired many. Knowing his grandson makes it even more special.
