Flightmares: Sky-High Humor is a book of quotes, jokes, cartoons, illustrations, and stories depicting humor in the airlines industry. The author, Robert D. Reed, known for his humor, contracted with a cartoonist from Malaysia named Khairal Izzuddin to put his ideas into cartoons, including the one on the front cover. A famous quote by Mark Russel, "The scientific theory I like best is that the rings of Saturn are composed entirely of lost airline luggage," is illustrated in an image created by Reed's wife, Cleone Reed. A delightful read, this book makes for a wonderful gift, especially if presented in an airline sick bag!
