### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great Book for Pilots
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2018*

For people in aviation, this book is a great read.  It profiles the life of Bob Buck who started out at the time of Lindbergh and became one of the best airline pilots.  His history follows aviation from the beginning of the airlines when they flew DC 2s and DC 3s through all sorts of weather that today's airliners fly way above.  During the middle of his career, he piloted the famous Connies between the USA and Europe.  This followed by piloting the first Boeing 707s transcontinental.  His career was capped by being one of the first pilots to fly the Boeing 747s.  Throughout this book he describes all sorts of different adventures, such as flying a 707 around the world over the poles.  He was also instrumental in flying research aircraft for weather research.  I don't think there was any pilot who could chalk up so many different accomplishment in his lifetime of flying.  If you are a pilot, you will enjoy this book and be amazed by the flying that can be done over one's lifetime.

    Remembering Bob Buck
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2021*

This memoir is a history of commerical passenger aviation, and a darn good read of one man's life and love of flying, beginning when he was a teenager. Bob gave me a copy of his memoir when it first came out. I've gifted it a number of times, and just re-read parts -- it holds up and remains a glimpse into the life of the early pilots of those wondrous huge air ships. I miss sipping some good French wine with Bob and hearing his rumbley voice commenting on everythig from the problems of current aviation to his favorite restaurants in Paris..

*by J***X on Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2024*

I have learned to trust Thrift Books.  I ordered this copy of "North Star over My Shoulder" as a gift for an elderly retired airline captain; it allows him to relive some of his personal experiences.
