Holbrook Maslen
 Holbrook’s
flying career began as a teenager when he
undertook flight instruction. He soloed a few
months later thus commencing his first step in a
remarkable 20,000+ hour aviation career that was
to span nearly five decades.
In the early '50s, following service as a
paratrooper, all the while adding to his pilot's
log, Maslen established and operated an air taxi
service at Burbank, California. He subsequently
joined friend, Lyle Cameron, in the opening of
the first sky-diving school in California which
he operated for the ensuing 10 years while
concurrently flying helicopters for the Los
Angeles Police Department.
Holbrook’s multi-faceted flying activities were
terminated however by this married father of two
in 1966 when he began a 31-year career with
United Air Lines.
