...garment district were found to have antibodies against the bacterium now known to cause the disease, indicating that they had been infected-without suffering any apparent symptoms-some time ago. This, in turn, suggested that the Legionnaires' bug had been around the district for a while. Hundreds of air and water samples were also checked for presence of the elusive bacteria. All tests proved negative, and the program has now been discontinued...

The workers, glad to have the area scrubbed down and cleansed as never before, were jubilant as air conditioning was turned on again-an event that generated a block-long sigh of relief in Macy's huge department store, which borders the district.

What is surprising about this rambunctious autobiography, however, is that although Gann tells a number of good wing-and-prayer yarns, some of his most surprising adventures have had nothing to do with aviation. He has been a newsreel cameraman, soldier, Broadway actor, polo player, farmer, cartoonist, commercial fisherman, deepwater yachtsman, Hollywood talent scout and, of course, a bestselling novelist (The High and the Mighty, Band of Brothers). He wrote, directed...
