Passion for Flight Vol. 3: In the Cockpit with Cliff Robertson

Robertson iBooks CoverIn the Cockpit with Cliff Robertson, is now available in print and as an ebook. The book is the third volume in Passion for Flight, a series of short biographies regarding notable pilots who inspire young and old alike to take to the skies.

Cliff Robertson appeared in more than one hundred roles in his career as an actor, including a young John F. Kennedy in “PT 109,” his Academy Award winning performance in “Charly,” and most recently, Uncle Ben in “Spider-Man.”

But Cliff always felt more comfortable in a plane than in Hollywood. His fascination for aviation began as a child. He accrued several thousand hours in the cockpit and held single-engine land and sea, multi-engine, instrument and commercial licenses, as well as balloon, gliding and seaplane ratings. Over his lifetime he owned a variety of planes, including a Beech Baron 58, Messerschmitt Me 108, Stampe SV4, three Tiger Moths and a Spitfire Mk.IX.

His aviation accomplishments included helping launch the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Young Eagles program in 1992 and serving as its first national honorary chairman.

In the Cockpit with Cliff Robertson is available in Black & White and Color print versions through Amazon. Electronic versions are available through Gumroad, Amazon Kindle, Barnes and Noble and the iBookstore.
