You ever read this. This Plane Accidentally Flew Around the World

Yes I did, LOL!

That's what got me started here in FR about two months ago, and from there I bought and read 4 other books about Flying Boats, Pan American and WW2 in the Pacific.

Since I grew up in San Francisco, I knew all about Treasure Island and Alameda. Not in the 30s or 40s, of course but in the 50s and 60s. Not much has changed out in San Francisco Bay.
Finally, while buying books on Flying Boats on Amazon, The Electra Story popped up as a "recommended book..."

What a fantastic read! With Hollywood completely out of fresh movie ideas it’s ridiculous to not make a movie out o that story.
