Ah, Peter Garrison, not only a great aviation writer, but a great writer, period.
I still remember his article about the original BD-5, and about his self-mantra ("RPM, RPM, RPM") and death grip on the collective during his first flights as he got his helicopter rating.
He is the kind of a guy who, in an article about flying gyrocopters at El Mirage dry lake, could turn it into poetry and write, "Only the soul survives loss of rotor at altitude."
