Juan Trippe's idea of an \"Empire of the Air\" transporting people was a distant dream. There were no footsteps to follow. Beyer, working himself up through the ranks, cast his practical eye at the many aspects of how an airline could run and prosper, and became known as an efficiency wizard. \u003cp\u003e During his international career, he says what it was like dealing with government regulations, he describes the fleets and their maintenance, and at one point a revolution. All this is interspersed with some hilarious anecdotes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e It was a risky business, and this is the true adventure of Mort Beyer's life as the president of several scheduled and non scheduled airlines over a span of sixty years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Morten Beyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1425166520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781425166526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trafford Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Morten Beyer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439039131903,"sku":"9781425166526","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2fedab3d-d215-4839-b4e2-d7f065e0844a.jpg?v=1777175012","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flying-higher-morten-beyer-9781425166526","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
