About the Book

“Chuck” Doyle is not only an aviation living legend – he is an icon. Starting out as a thrill-show daredevil, he has been a parachutist, barnstormer, skywriter, aircraft broker, restorer, and also managed to squeeze in a lengthy career as an airline captain. Many of the rare aircraft Chuck has owned now reside in aviation museums around the country including three in the Air Force Museum in Dayton Ohio. He is an inductee of the Minnesota Aviation Hall of Fame, Experimental Aircraft Association Hall of Fame, and a member of many unique aviation organizations including the Caterpillar Club and the Ancient and Secret Order of Quiet Birdmen. Throughout his life Chuck amassed a vast photographic record of his many adventures, a portion of which are included here. In these pages you will find the fascinating account of his life so far.
