Flight Of The Gin Fizz: Midlife At 4,500 Feet by Henry Kisor
Story of a deaf man who got his special issuance class III and PPL then flew the route of Carl Roger's 1911 cross country solo flight NY to LA. Kisor named his Cessna 150 "Gin Fizz" in honor of Roger's Wright Flyer Model EX named Vin Fizz after a popular soft drink.
