Nur dem reichen Wiesenbauer macht die Trockenzeit nichts aus, sein Wiesenland ist ein Sumpfgebiet.

When I wrote the original version of PILOTS DAWN in the last decade of the previous century, the world was a different place. Three manufacturers of passenger aircraft existed in the United States.

The Cold War was over; the KGB had receded into history and expectations of a peaceful democratic Russia were the norm.
