By the Seat of My Pants - A Pilot’s Progress from 1917 to 1930

Dean C. Smith

Summary

By the Seat of My Pants is Dean Smith's story of his life as a flying cadet in WWI, an airmail pilot in the 1920's and, lastly, as the lead aviator in Admiral Byrd's 1928 Antarctic expedition. Told in a self-deprecating style with a matter of fact sense of humor, it is an engaging read from start to finish. Passages describe airmail runs heading West with no maps or runways available, and Smith's exciting take on the Byrd Expedition is a version of events not in the official records.
