A boy dreams of flying. He's an outsider - still he dreams. A summer job at an airport leads to flying lessons. Shortly thereafter he's smuggling lobster off Mexican beaches in an old surplus airplane. Later, it's the Congo and a revolution. Followed by a CIA operation in Laos where making dangerous airdrops to the Royalists fighting the communists is the mission. Then Vietnam, and more adrenaline-pumping excitement. He lives his dream with luck, pluck and always knowing the glass is half-full. This is the early years of Captain Dave Case's forty-four-year action-packed career as a swash-buckling pilot; always seeking the other side of the mountain. Volume One is the first of three; each crammed with gripping yarns of one man doing it his way.
