During the Great Depression, Bernard Pietenpol wanted desperately to fly, but could not afford to buy a plane. So he built his own simple wood and fabric monoplane powered by a Model A Ford engine. When the "experts" at Modern Mechanics magazine said that plane would not fly, he piloted his homemade masterpiece to their headquarters in Minneapolis and proved them wrong. They are still crafted today. Includes photos and details never before published. Author Chet Peek. 125 pages.
