THORNTON, Colo. (PRWEB) September 10, 2014 -- To author Lester M. Zinser, the time he spent in the cockpit is a treasure worthy of sharing. He, thus, publishes “PILOT LOGBOOK LIES AND MORE,” his interesting autobiography quickly covers life on a farm in rural Illinois during the depression then marches through WWII, growing a top rate flight school, working with the first chimps in space, to the early years of flying expressly to measure conditions in severe weather.
The author is well-known in aviation, severe weather flying, and meteorology.
