California Sky (Paperback)

The year was 1934 and barnstorming was in its heyday. Johnnie West was twenty-five and making money flying in spite of the Great Depression. His dad owned an airstrip in Van Nuys so Johnnie decided to start an air charter service flying gamblers from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. While in Vegas, he meets a gorgeous blond attorney for Warner Brothers studio in Burbank. She introduces him to a mob boss who wants Johnnie to do some flying for him, which he did because he had no choice. But it was profitable. Johnnie began making more money than he knew existed. By the time World War II was finally over, Johnnie has a mansion in Las Vegas and collects vintage cars as a hobby. Driving his newly restored 1931 Caddy north to Eureka, Nevada, Johnnie comes across a town caught in time.
