Description -
The biography of one of the true legends of American commercial aviation, Dick Merrill. He retired from airline flying with 45,000 commercial hours in his log book, having earned himself a reputation akin to Doolittle, Lindbergh and Earhart. Record-breaker, VIP pilot, Eisenhower's personal pilot, magician, gambler - he did it all in his own flamboyant way.
