In 1926, a young Neal Loving saw a de Havilland DH-4 biplane that propelled his dreams of taking to the sky. Loving's Love is the inspiring autobiography about his journey to get there. He faced no small number of obstacles, including being barred by racist gatekeeping from serving in the Civil Air Patrol during World War II, and undergoing a double leg amputation after a glider crash. The book offers readers an intimate and engaging look at Loving's career, with a focus on his WR-1 Loving's Love, a single seat, midget racer he built in 1950 that won him the 1954 Most Outstanding Design award from the Experimental Aircraft Association. Neal Loving experienced a lifetime of thrills and challenges, and Loving's Love captures the candid life story of a courageous man who defied the odds again and again.
