Flying: The Good, the Bad, the Adventures, and the Misfortunes

Gene Fish spent a remarkable amount of time as a pilot and flight engineer. In this memoir, Ol’ Shakey: Memories of a Flight Engineer, he shares some of the most memorable flights he had, especially one in particular—his experience flying a Douglas Globemaster C-124 nicknamed Ol’ Shakey.
 
Flying is not always pure bliss; there are some adventures that can quickly turn into misfortune if not handled properly. Ol’ Shakey is one of those planes that can really keep aviators on the lookout. The aircraft is known to have minor glitches during flights. One of Gene’s flight with it has really challenged his skill as an aircraft engineer. Ol’ Shakey has made Gene’s passion for flying more interesting, and these stories about the quirky aircraft is entertaining to read.
 
Ol’ Shakey: Memories of a Flight Engineer was recently republished by LitFire Publishing—a print-on-demand publishing company. Since then, the book has been featured in a few local and international book fairs.
