Book takes us into the high-risk world of Unlimited Air Racing at the Reno National Air Races. Flying wingtip to wingtip around pylons at nearly 500 mph, just yards above the sagebrush, Reno's big throaty warbirds are piloted by adrenaline-addicted, Type-A elite whose oversize talent and egos spawn a hundred stories. |

Fly Low, Fly Fast book traces the history of this colorful, often deadly sport, and follows the evolution of the competition planes from the exotic custom contraptions of the 1930s to today's machines like the Bearcat and Mustang. Fly Low, Fly Fast is a history of Unlimited Air Racing over 35 years at Reno, Nevada, an annual high-risk competition among veteran top pilots of propeller-driven planes that are mostly hyped-up WWII surplus fighters innovatively improved to drive their original wartime speed to close to 500 miles per hour. |
