Fly Low Fly Fast
Inside the Reno Air Races
Gandt, Robert
Robert Gandt takes us into the high risk world of Unlimited Air Racing, following the 1997 and 1998 championship at the Reno National Air Races. Flying wingtip to wingtip around pylons at nearly 500 mph, just jards above the sagebush, Reno's big throaty warbirds are piloted by an adrenaine-addicted, type-A elite whose oversize talent and egos spawn a hundred stories...
Robert Gandt knows what he is talking about. Himself a former navy pilot and current Delta Air Lines captain, he speaks the language of the characters of his book. And besides being a pilot writing about pilots he has proven already that he is a master of the word too. Other famous books of Robert Gandt are:
Season of Storms: The Siege of Hong Kong 1941
China Clipper: The Age of the Great Flying Boats
Skygods: The Fall of Pan Am
Bogeys and Bandits: The Making of a Fighter Pilot
"Fly Low Fly Fast" easily touches the excellence and intensity of Ernest K. Gann’s “Fate is the Hunter” or Tom Wolfe’s “The Right Stuff”...
