Heroes of the Sky
Extraordinary stories of courage, adventure and aviation historyAlan Jackson – Aviation Storyteller
The first half of the 20th century was an extraordinary time for aviation.
Men and women took to the skies in pioneering aircraft, often facing danger, uncertainty and seemingly impossible challenges.
Some became household names. Others have been almost forgotten.
Their stories are filled with courage, adventure, determination, drama and extraordinary human achievement.
Alan Jackson brings these remarkable stories to life through entertaining and engaging presentations about the men and women who helped shape the history of aviation.
These are not conventional history lectures. They are fascinating stories of real people who did extraordinary things.
