Description:	From the back cover: 'In my previous editions of my book "The Airplanes & The King", I explored Elvis Presley's remarkable aviation adventures. I examined his fear of flying, how he overcame it by the late '60s, the aircraft he chartered and purchased, and documented every flight he ever took. Yet, with each new edition, I felt there was a significant piece of history left untold. Space constraints prevented me from delving into it as deeply as I wished: the centerpiece of Elvis' aviation legacy - his flying pride and joy, lovingly named after his daughter - The Lisa Marie. Published exactly 50 years after Elvis acquired his flying Graceland, this book is my most cherished project to date. It aspires to be the definitive account of the Lisa Marie's journey - a biography of this magnificent aircraft and a tribute to its unique place in history. Within these pages, I invite you to embark on an immersive journey throught the life of Elvis Presley, as seen through the prism of aviation and the extraordinary tale of his Convair 880.' Editorial assistance and proofreading provided by Nigel Patterson (The Elvis Information Network), Kees Mouwen (Elvis Day By Day) and Paul Sweeney (Co-author of Elvis Presley In Person - One Night In Toronto April 2, 1957). Proofreading assistance by Andrés Mosca & Marcelo Murino. Technical details, research, compilation, editing and design by Carlos Varrenti (Aeronautical Engineer).
