Flying Cowboys

About the Book:
This is an exciting story of events
that led to an historical first flight
in the transportation of whole herds
of up to eighty two pregnant dairy cows
by airplane from Denmark to countries in the Mid East.

An old military surplus cargo plane
and a crew of seven young men
desperate for work
were more than happy to take on the challenge!
and It made absoutly no difference
that the rumor mill within aviation
was saying it couldn’t be done.

"A job was a job",
and if the Danes needed to get cows delivered
to Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Iran,
they were going to get it done,
" come hell or high water".

The timing couldn’t have been better,
with Denmark’s dire need to find a way to improve their balance of trade crisis

and at a time when thousands
of American airmen
were out of work
due the FAA’s crippling rule changes.
