His imagination was fueled by gasoline-powered models; balsa-wood gliders; and stories of military aircraft. Amazing, though, James never believed he would have the opportunity to fly in an airplane.\u003cp\u003e While stumbling through school unsure of a career, James took a \"dollar ride\" in a Cessna 150. After a thirty-minute flight, he had an epiphany. As they taxied in, James's heart and mind were still in the air. \"Eureka! I've found it,\" he said to himself. \"This is what I want to do. I am going to fly airplanes.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Powell's path from that day forward was straight and narrow: he joined the military and successfully graduated from the Air Force's pilot training class at Columbus Air Force Base in Mississippi. But that was just the first step in what became a career as a professional aviator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In this moving memoir of hard work and dogged determination, Powell recounts the rocky road he traveled on his way to becoming a commercial pilot. Despite the diversion of a teenage marriage and divorce, and friends' ridicule, James's determination never wavered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Read how author James Powell used his gift of tenacity, believing he could do anything if he worked long and hard enough in Of Dreams and Coveralls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Garland Powell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595523161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595523160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.48d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Garland Powell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046989983999,"sku":"9780595523160","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7e4402f8-c437-482f-89b4-2ab7679aa51b.jpg?v=1684987650","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/of-dreams-coveralls-james-garland-powell-9780595523160","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
