About the Book

He was one of St. Louis' early aviation pioneers in aircraft building and flying. Aviation was his life, from his humble beginnings with a Wright Brothers' biplane all the way to the space age in the 1960s. He always enjoyed telling his colorful stories regarding the early days of flight to his family members, friends, work colleagues, and just about anyone who showed interest. Before these stories are lost to history, his son has taken it upon himself to pass on the highlights of his life and his dedication to the field of aviation. Special emphasis was placed on his success in the building and flying of his own airplane during the Great Depression. "My father's legacy has always endured and has lived on inside of me through my own passion for the field of aviation. Airplanes have always been a part of my life from as far back as I can remember because my Dad 'lived airplanes' on a daily basis. One thing I have to say, though, he never pushed flying on me. It was just there--I didn't have to go far to find it. I feel that I honor him by telling his story, the early days of aviation technology, and by allowing his roots to spread up through his grandchildren and out to his great grandchildren; all of whom embody the variety of innovative and creative grasses found throughout the vast lawn of the Cieslak family."
About the Author: Robert "Bob" Zane Cieslak is an aeronautical engineer and an alumni of St. Louis University. He has been married to the same woman he met back in 1965 and is a father of three children and a grandfather of seven grandchildren. In the past, Bob has lived in Florida, Georgia, Indonesia, and finally back in Missouri. His career in aviation has allowed him to be a part of great companies such as McDonnell Douglas, Martin Marietta, Piper Aircraft, Learjet, Gulfstream, and the Indonesian Aircraft Industry. Currently, he is a licensed mechanic and commercial pilot. In addition, he also worked as a crop-duster flying Stearman biplanes. These days, Bob is retired and lives in the St. Louis area.
