Ernest K. Gann

    Ernest K. Gann schöpfte Inspiration aus seinen ausgedehnten Reisen und Abenteuern als Aviator und Seemann. Diese Erfahrungen prägten sein literarisches Schaffen, das sich häufig Themen wie Mut, Schicksal und dem menschlichen Geist im Angesicht der Elemente widmet. Sein Schreibstil zeichnet sich durch packende Erzählungen und detaillierte Beschreibungen von Luft- und Maritim-Szenen aus, die den Leser in die Handlung eintauchen lassen. Gann verknüpfte meisterhaft seine persönlichen Erlebnisse mit fiktiven Geschichten und schuf so fesselnde Werke, die den Abenteuergeist zelebrieren.

      The four MacDonald brothers were born to fly. Right after World War I they took to stunt flying at county fairs, barnstorming their way around the U.S.A., selling joy rides and confounding the populace with an assortment of highly skilled aerobatics in the unlikely aircraft of the time. They graduated to a steadier way of making a living, but the dangers were just as acute - if not more so. For now they had a contract to deliver he mails, and this had to be done on time, in all kinds of weather, under all kinds of conditions. But neither the conditions nor the tragedies they inevitably suffered would stop them.

      "This book is an episodic log of some of the more memorable of (the author's) nearly 10,000 hours aloft in peace and in war. It is also an attempt to define by example his belief in the phenomenon of luck-- that the pattern of anyone's fate is only partly contrived by the individual".--The New Yorker.
