Inspirational Book - Not Just for Aviation

This was a great book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading every page, and couldn't put it down. It's inspiring, not just for aviation, but for any industry. These guys put their hearts into their work, and now they are known the world over. I would buy this book to read to my kids.

I picked this up at the Museum of Flight in Seattle. If you've ever been to Seattle, more than likely you've seen a Kenmore Air float plane fly overhead. You might of thought that they are just a sightseeing company, but they are much more than that. Many people have depended...
