Description
Autobiography. Donald Sellers grew up in aviation in the menhaden fishing business in Southport, NC. His idol and mentor, Hall Watters, was a fish-spotting pioneer who also taught many airline pilots to fly. When Dreams Took Flight tells the story of Donald's childhood around the fish factory and flying with Hall in his Super Cub, his dream of becoming a pilot when he grew up, and the fulfillment of that dream through a varied career in Army helicopters in Vietnam, single-engine fish-spotting aircraft up and down the east coast, and finally, his 20 years of airline flying from Piedmont Aviation to US Airways. Now retired, he lives in Southport with his wife, Cindy, and their beloved beagle, Punkin.
