TAKE ME TO A CIRCUS TENT:  THE J.A. FLIGHT MANUAL                                           THANK YOU TO: It would be impossible to take on a project for this many years without some very special people.  Never have I taken help for granted. Art Cohen from www.synkronosmusic.com  (The Ministry Of Inside Things) http://www.thegatherings.org/ (Ambient, electronic and space music) http://www.menfromwhen.com (The Men From When)   Paul Crawford (The Marshall of Iowa) for uncovering a lot of buried Airplane treasure and archiving Paul Kantner’s Wooden Ships shows. Don Aters (Chet Helms best friend, and the legendary photographer) for supplying many of the photos, and contact information.  www.haightstreetmusicnews.com Herb Greene (The legendary photographer that took the photograph used for the Surrealistic Pillow album) for allowing his photographs to be used for the cover and inside the book.  A heartfelt thanks for permission to be able to share with the readers so many pictures that have never been in book form. Rick Martin (The legendary Airplane & Jefferson Starship fan hovering around Chicago) for setting up many of the interviews, even when working twelve hour days, and for sharing the same enthusiasm as myself during the entire writing of the book.    Mike Somavilla (Crest Of The Wave Productions) for supplying many of the photos, and contact information.  A true professional with a sense of humor!    Bob Harvey (The original J.A. bass-player) has come through with many cool items for the book. Thank you Bob and may you always get back in life what you give to others.   You could never find better individuals to call friends. Thank you to Marty Balin's dad (Joe Buchwald). He is an inspiration to everyone he meets. Mr. Buchwald is 80+ years of age and has the energy of three people.   Thank you to family and to all the supporters of the Jefferson Airplane over the years. All the best, Craig Fenton (Craig The Airplane Man)
