I read this book years ago and I now need to find a copy. I did a
standard search but Davis is such a common name that I couldn't find
it. The book became the basis for a movie of the same name in 1979
starring Cliff Robertson. I need the exact name of the author and a
lead,e.g, Amazon as to where I can obtain a used copy. Thanks

Hi Petegranan~

"The Pilot" by Robert B. Davis is available on Amazon.

Amazon has it available new and used from $2.70 and it ships within
2-3 days. You can find it here:

Cliff Robertson, a record-holding pilot in his own right, co-wrote the
screenplay for the movie with Davis; and Davis was the technical
consultant on the movie, which Robertson directed.

It's always a pleasure to help someone track down a book. Thanks for
affording me the opportunity!
