Zerk 'Em

And Pull the Push Rods: A Wry Look at Aviation in the Mid-20th Century

Overview

Over 25 years after her father’s death, Jo Maeder was given the contents of an old green metal filing cabinet that was his. To her astonishment, it held a treasure trove of information about the illustrious aviation and writing career of George Weitz she knew nothing about.

Determined to dig deeper, she pieced together her father’s mysterious life from misspent youth to Marine lieutenant colonel to government chief in the FAA. She also peeled back layers in his various marriages, including his last one to an outrageous Brit. Revealed against the backdrop of an explosion in licensed airplanes that created non-stop havoc, aviation fans will love Zerk ‘Em. So will anyone who enjoys a rollicking hidden history told with warmth and wisdom.
