Shattered Dream: A Single-Parent Airline Pilot’s Story

From the Cockpit to the Taxicab and Back…

A Single-Parent Pilot’s Story of Struggle as a Cabdriver to Recapture His Place in the Sky.

Brian Settles

Brian Settles was an experienced and well-educated airline pilot and single parent who seemed to have it all: freedom, income, and a great career until an airline strike and bankruptcy shattered his existence. Readers of this amazing account of his journey from airline pilot to taxicab driver and back will ride his cab's backseat and experience the daily grind of the taxicab driver’s life as Settles struggles to regain his airline pilot life, enduring three years of upheaval, uncertainty, and danger on the streets of Atlanta, Georgia. The author’s trial of perseverance and faith led him to triumph and taught him valuable life lessons about people and himself. This former Vietnam combat pilot fought his way through employment disaster and back to the cockpit as an airline pilot. Brian Settles’ story is a riveting testimony of fortitude, invincibility, and God’s favor to defeat overwhelming adversity, a determined single parent, refusing to surrender to failure—a fascinating and inspiring airline pilot story.

Order: SMOKE FOR BREAKFAST:

Retired airline captain Brian Howard Settles tells a gripping true story of his war experience as an Air Force combat pilot and the internal battle he waged in search of his honor and dignity.

During the Vietnam War, Brian Howard Settles flew nearly two hundred combat missions in a jet fighter as he struggled with feelings of isolation from his convictions, personal inadequacy, and inner questions about the war. Settles grapples with his hypocrisy in selling out on himself and his marriage in exchange for filling his emotional neediness with the glorified machismo of being a fighter pilot. In his guts and glory story, this retired airline captain discloses the awful truth of his guilt-laden mania for booze, babes, and battle, sharing the intense, unshakable emotional cost that lives in the isolation and deprivation that is war. The raw confession of his inner conflict and self-doubt is stirring, preventing SMOKE FOR BREAKFAST from becoming a typical Vietnam War memoir. Rather, it's the surrender of himself; weaving a ruthlessly honest story of one man's private torment to survive incredible odds in search of his honor and dignity.
