Createspace

Adams’ background as an aviation pilot, flight instructor and FAA-designated pilot examiner are seen in the details throughout the book, but the industry jargon does not get in the way of the sleuthing and dangers protagonist Rick Harris must endure to save his up-and-coming aircraft company and himself.
