Description

Over a quarter century after her father's death, Jo Maeder was given the contents of an old green metal filing cabinet that was his. When she finally tackled going through it, she discovered a treasure trove on the illustrious aviation and military careers of George Weitz that she knew little about. His writing success as a funny, folksy "cracker-barrel" style aviation inspector came as a complete surprise. He had grown up in Brooklyn. Determined to dig deeper, she pieced together her father's mysterious life from misspent youth to Marine lieutenant colonel to government chief in the FAA. She also peeled back layers in his various marriages, including his last one to an outrageous Brit. Revealed against the backdrop of a post-WWII explosion in the number of aircraft and pilots that created non-stop havoc, aviation fans will love ZERK 'EM. So will anyone who enjoys a provocative hidden history told with warmth and wisdom.
