I just found out that Robert Serling, an author on the aviation industry and writer of a number of fictional books revolving around the airline industry has passed away at the age of 92. He died on May 6th and was diagnosed with cancer just days earlier.  Robert Serling, brother to Rod Serling of the TV series “The Twilight Zone”, was quite literally my favorite aviation author.  I discovered him many years ago when I bought a book of his on Boeing.  I’ve since read virtually every book he’s written and I’ll miss his writing quite a bit.  His last book on Alaska Airlines was as good as any other he’s done. 

You can read a more extensive LA Times obituary on Mr. Serling HERE.  The new York Times Obituary is HERE.
