About This Item
Trafford Publishing, 2003. Softcover. Like New. 6x0x9. Signed by Author. Gift inscription by and signed by author. "Your chance to relive a little piece of The Good Old Days and find the answers to these burning questions: Which future Coast Guard Captain said Shit, Mal, let's do a 360 and get out of here. Which Coast Guard astronaut said, when asked to describe his scariest moment, Flying as Malcolm Smith's co-pilot. Which Coast Guard aviator got the blame for putting training wheels and streamers on the commanding officer's and XO's new bicycles. Which Coast Guard aviator threw up in his glove while flying rather than make a mess in the cockpit. This book brings back some of the funniest moments of the Coast Guard during the time period between the Old Guard and the new modern Coast Guard. For more than two decades, Mal has threatened to write a book to chronicle his many colorful experiences during his Coast Guard aviation career. Mal can spin a tale better than any sailor and his exploits in and out of the cockpit are indeed legendary. But the fact is, the closer he gets to the completion of this life-long dream of his, the more nervous I become. I can't wait to read it! RADM David W. Kunkel, COAST GUARD AVIATOR #1726 Malcolm Smith is a master storyteller with a flair for finding humor in everyday activities and recounting his observations with entertaining splendor that leaves you thirsting for another. Since meeting him when I was a teenager in Alaska, I have been absorbed by his colorful renditions and have long awaited this composition. I just hope I'm not the subject in one of his stories. CAPT. E. Darrell Nelson, COMMANDING OFFICER, CGAS KODIAK".
