Question: Who was the author of the story that inspired the the film that featured the first pilot to fly solo around the world?

<P0-S0>  Also known for his work in high-altitude flying, Post helped develop one of the first pressure suits and discovered the jet stream. <P0-S1>  On August 15, 1935, Post and American humorist Will Rogers were killed when Post's aircraft crashed on takeoff from a lagoon near Point Barrow in the Territory of Alaska. <P0-S2> Wiley Hardeman Post (November 22, 1898 – August 15, 1935) was a famed American aviator during the interwar period, the first pilot to fly solo around the world. <SEP> <P1-S0>  Director Albert Rogell who had moved from shorts to B-films, was interested in aviation and had already helmed "The Flying Marine" (1929) and "Air Hostess" (1933). <P1-S1>  In "Air Hawks", the studio was able to add an A-list star, Ralph Bellamy, as well as exploiting the fame of record-setting pilot Wiley Post in his only feature film appearance. <P1-S2> Air Hawks is a 1935 American aviation-themed science-fiction film based on Ben Pivar's "Air Fury", an unpublished story. <SEP> <P2-S0> Geraldine "Jerrie" Fredritz Mock (November 22, 1925 – September 30, 2014) was the first woman to fly solo around the world, which she did in 1964. <P2-S1>  She flew a single engine Cessna 180 (registered N1538C) christened the "Spirit of Columbus" and nicknamed "Charlie." <P2-S2>  The trip began March 19, 1964, in Columbus, Ohio, and ended April 17, 1964, in Columbus, Ohio, and took 29 days, 21 stopovers and almost 22860 mi . <P2-S3>  An almost forgotten part of this flight is the "race" that developed between Jerrie Mock and Joan Merriam Smith who had flown from a field near San Francisco CA on March 17, 1964. <P2-S4>  Joan's departure date and flight path was the same as the aviator Amelia Earhart's last flight and though not in direct competition with each other, media coverage soon began tracking the progress of each pilot fascinated with who would complete the journey first. <P2-S5>  The story of this race is told in a book written by Taylor Phillips entitled, "Racing to Greet the Sun, Jerrie Mock and Joan Merriam Smith Duel to Become the First Woman to Solo Around the World". <P2-S6>  Jerrie Mock was subsequently awarded the Louis Blériot medal from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale in 1965. <P2-S7>  In 1970 she published the story of her round-the-world flight in the book "Three-Eight Charlie". <P2-S8>  While that book is now out of print, a 50th anniversary edition was later published including maps, weather charts and photos. <P2-S9>  "Three-Eight Charlie" is a reference to the call sign, N1538C, of the Cessna 180 Skywagon Mock used to fly around the world. <P2-S10>  Before her death, Mock, mother of three children, resided in Quincy, Florida; northwest of the state capital, Tallahassee. <SEP> <P3-S0> David Brian Jacka OAM (born 14 July 1968) is an aviator and disability advocate. <P3-S1>  On 5 June 2013, Jacka became the first person with quadriplegia to fly solo around the coast of Australia. <P3-S2>  The trip took 38 days. <P3-S3>  He flew a Jabiru J230 with adaptations that he designed to enable him to fly. <P3-S4>  The purpose of the flight was to spread the message of the charity founded by Jacka, On a Wing and a Chair. <P3-S5>  The charity's mission was to raise the publics' expectations of what people with disabilities can achieve and inspire everyone, with or without a disability, to get out and have a go at their own dreams and goals.
