Description

Dancing the Skies and Falling with Style is a memoir that chronicles the life of Calvin Shields, a record-breaking airline pilot who flew the Boeing 747 for over 40 years. From early days of commercial flight training to the golden era of long-haul aviation, Shields shares his exhilarating journey, taking readers inside the cockpit and behind the scenes of life as an airline pilot. Shields recounts his experiences flying in treacherous conditions, encountering extraordinary passengers and crew, and facing personal challenges such as love, heartbreak, and resilience. With wit, candour, and a sharp eye for absurdity, he presents a time capsule of an era when flying was glamorous, dangerous, and deeply human. Published in 2019, this memoir reflects the language, attitudes, and social norms of a bygone era, offering a unique glimpse into the world of aviation during its heyday.
