Bob Hoover is a WWII veteran,
prisoner of war, test pilot, air show pilot and the pace plane for the
Unlimited Reno races. This film
tells the stories, shows the friendships and the work Bob Hoover has done for
flying. He did all this with his
piloting skills, judgment, luck and his ability to fly anything and come back.
This is an amazing
story!! Bob Hoover was in several
prison camps during WWII and he just wouldn’t stay there!! He tried to escape every time he could think
up another plan. He flew a
German plane to Holland with Allied planes searching for any German plane they
could find in the sky. 3 ½* (I
