Courageous pioneers, Civil War the way you have never seen it, Trans-Continental Railroad life,

Dr. John Wesley Moore
the savagery of World War II aviation. Action, tragedy, violent death

TWO DRAMATIC 400 page BOOKS!! HISTORY, LOVE, WAR, AVIATION

I believe Johnny Moore has created a masterpiece with FAMILY CENTENNIAL. He has taken the writings of his ancestors from the mid-1800’s up through World War II in a book that rivals epic novels by more established authors. It’s a page turner that’s sometimes hilarious, sometimes gut wrenching, but always fascinating. It was the most engrossing book I have ever had the pleasure to edit and serves as an intriguing prequel to Moore’s other book, I MUST FLY!

and sequel I MUST FLY! an unbelievable-but true-aviation adventure, and new hope!

...The pure love of flying is a state of mind that, for some people, is total and all consuming; a force that permeates one's very soul. Johnny Moore is such an individual. His book, I Must Fly! eloquently describes a person so inflicted. I wholeheartedly recommend it...

THE SEQUEL TO FAMILY CENTENNIAL RISES FROM THE ASHES OF TRAGEDY IN SEARCH OF... FULFILLMENT...OR ELSE!
CROP DUSTER, FIRE BOMBER, STUNT PILOT, BUSH PILOT . . . A THRILLING BIOGRAPHY
The true story of a pilot who survived five decades as an Alaskan bush pilot, crop duster, air tanker pilot fighting raging firestorms and finally, successful flight school and charter company founder-and later a martial arts dojo. An instruction manual on living hard and fulfilling your dreams.
SEQUEL TO I MUST FLY!

by Johnny Moore is now available. The Way I Fly! follows the unusual manual on how-to-do-it, Breaking Into Agricultural Aviation, the exciting biography Family Centennial (whose Part II is named “Aviation Love Story”) and I Must Fly! an aviation adventure.
This collector's DVD is autographed and includes hundreds of pictures covering operations in the far north, fire bombing, crop dusting, general aviation and calamities. See the building of a mountain-based flying operation. Topics range from heartbreaking dealings with government agencies to mountain flying to “touching the face of God" to legal matters. Technical subjects are explained straight forward and simply. Discussions covering aircraft maintenance, simple and tricky flying maneuvers, takeoffs and landings, instrument flying and navigation are seen from startlingly different angles and made simple.
THE WAY I FLY! is an unusual mixture of flight instructional techniques that reduce some accepted training practices to ashes while substituting simple concepts that work in the real world. There are thoughtful reflections on a lifetime of flying and the revealing of a mostly unknown parallel personal life.
