Autor

LeRoy Cook chose to become a lifelong student of aviation in his early years, catching the fever during the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of powered flight in 1953. He determined to learn and share as much of aviation as he could, and is still exploring flight 50-plus years later. His career as an aviation writer began in 1970; he had been a flight instructor since 1965 and wanted to reach a wider audience through aviation publications. His book, "101 Things to Do with your Private License" was first published in 1985 by McGraw Hill. He co-authored "American Aviation, An Illustrated History" (also by McGraw Hill), and has contributed to other books over the years, as well as magazine columns and journals. A lifelong resident of western Missouri, Cook is married with three children and continues teaching others about flying on a daily basis.
