What is the author's style in Fate is the Hunter by Ernest K. Gann?

The autobiography is related from the subjective first-person point of view as is typical for the form. Gann reflects upon his career and life with the knowledge of a master but he is able to present material from his early career with a surprisingly fresh voice. Thus, his recounting of the tribulations of flight school is simultaneously informative and humorous and notably lacks any condescending attitude toward being schooled in the basics of flight.
