Описание: Every Reason to Fail is unlike anything youve ever read. Its not a history book, but its full of old history-and new history-from cover to cover, and with historic people and airplanes to boot Its not a mystery book, but its full of genuine suspense and intrigue. Its not an aviation book, but in it you will get a glimpse into the real world of aviation and aviators that few will ever be fortunate enough to experience. Its not a geography book, but The Crew will take you to places youve probably never heard of, and few will ever go. Its not a self-help book, but in it you might find the inspiration to attempt something worthwhile that seems impossible. Its not an adventure book, but the tale is about an adventure like few in modern history. Its not a military book, but its full of military history and its main characters are old warbirds. Its not a book on project management, but you will learn many things about how NOT to run a major project...and why those things dont matter if you get the main things right. Its not a math book, but...its just not a math book. So theres that. The mission seemed simple enough. Completely restore a 75-year-old historic DC-3 and fly her from Montana to France for the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion. Starting with no volunteers and no money. In under a year. With a crew that had only a few hours of experience flying one. Ride along with author and pilot Bryan Douglass, the rest of the flight crew, the volunteers, paratroopers, World War II veterans, and others on this inspirational story of an impossible dream that almost didnt come true. The underdog of the D-Day Squadron faced insurmountable odds, constant delays and a shortage of nearly everything except determination. The idea of crossing the north Atlantic in a 75-year-old, newly restored airplane only a few hours after her first flight would terrify most, but youll meet the people who believed it co
