No Reason to Complain

"e;The series of events related herein are intended to provide an outline of my 48 years as a working man."e;No Reason to Complain captures Captain Henry T. Olden's thoughts, feelings and experiences of his working life, providing much more than an outline of the formative years of New England aviation. From the 1910 Squantum air meet onward, he describes the flying machines and aviation pioneers of his day, and captures the inspiration that propelled so many like him into the skies. This first hand account chronicles his own inauspicious beginnings as a student pilot at Dennison Airport, through his retirement from Northeast Airlines thirty-five years later. What lies in the pages in between is the story of a man who embraced the joy of flight and passed it on to many others. From the arctic air bases of Greenland to the small airports and seaplane bases of Massachusetts, Henry portrays the life of an aviation pioneer with all the positivity and candor the title reflects, capturing hardships and good fortunes with the same modest memorial. His family appreciates the opportunity to publish his story for the interested reader, especially those whose lives he touched.
