The author, an airline pilot himself, spent twenty years researching this book to give the reader the complete story of Hawaii Airlines, Aloha Airlines, the commuters, and the upstarts.

The story of the rivalry and their fight for financial survival is sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but if you think you have had problems, wait until you read this book. However, the winner in this free-for-all was the passengers who have enjoyed increasingly faster and better service at the lowest possible price. The rivalry continues today with new upstarts who believe they can wrest the passengers' loyalty from these two giants.

The cover features Dave Paulley's painting of two S-38 Sikorskys of Inter-Island Airways as they speed eastward along the North Shore of Molokai on November 11, 1929.
