The Airman's World by Gill Robb Wilson (Random House, 1953).
In 1966, the author, then 15, and his brother, 17, flew their immaculately restored Piper Cub from New Jersey to California, on a mission to emerge from the towering shadow of their father, a former barnstormer, and simultaneously earn his respect and their independence.
This coming-of-age classic, told from the cockpit of an airplane with nothing more than a compass to guide it from coast to coast, reached a broad audience but was especially treasured by the aviation community.

 Air Power:Civil Air Patrol
The Civil Air Patrol, the civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force, had its origins in the late 1930s when aviation activist Gill Robb Wilson started a personal campaign to strengthen and augment the United States’ air forces, which he perceived as unprepared and ill-equipped to respond to the looming war in Europe.
Later in the war, Civil Air Patrol aircraft, flying as far as 150 miles (241 kilometers) from shore, were equipped with bombs and depth charges after an enemy submarine, grounded in the shallow waters off Cape Canaveral, Florida, escaped before military aircraft arrived on the scene.
By war’s end, Civil Air Patrol volunteer pilots had flown over 500,000 hours, but many also paid the ultimate price--more than 90 CAP aircraft were lost and 64 of its volunteer members died in their country’s service.
