Two Men, One Airline, And A Dream Too Big To Fail

NEW BOOK EXPOSES THE TRUE STORY OF AMERICA'S MOST UNLIKELY AIRLINE STARTUP
"WINGS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE" by Barry Clare - A High-Risk, High-Altitude Tale of Ambition, Aviation, and the Fight to Change an Industry

New York, NY - [December 11, 2025] - Entrepreneur and aviation insider Barry Clare announces the release of his thrilling new nonfiction book, "WINGS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE", an astonishing true story that reveals how a small group of determined visionaries attempted what aviation experts considered impossible: launching a fully certified U.S. international airline-without Wall Street backing, political connections, or industry protection.
Clare, together with aviation pioneer Igor Dmitrowsky, spent more than a decade building Baltia Air Lines, a bold transatlantic carrier designed to resurrect the glamour, dignity, and service of the golden age of flight. Their quest-marked by federal agencies, Boeing 747 resurrection efforts, regulatory labyrinths, and breathtaking near-victories-reads like a Hollywood script, except every word is true.
"This book is a rare insider look at what happens when the American Dream collides with the aviation system. It's shocking, inspiring, and utterly unforgettable."
"Think 'The Social Network' meets 'Catch Me If You Can'-only the stakes are measured in aircraft, millions of dollars, and the lives of everyone onboard."
The book peels back the curtains on:
✈ The Herculean FAA certification gauntlet
✈ Battles with Wall Street refusal, SEC scrutiny, and regulatory sabotage
✈ An abandoned Boeing 747 resurrected from the Arizona desert
✈ A partnership tested through impossible odds and heartbreaking loss
✈ A startup airline that got closer to liftoff than any outsider ever knew
"What we attempted was bigger than a company," Clare says. "It was a belief that innovation should not be dictated by gatekeepers. The system wasn't built for dreamers-but dreams don't care."
"WINGS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE" is not just a business chronicle-it's a testament to grit, loyalty, and the price of chasing a destiny no one else can see.
EARLY PRAISE
"A gripping cautionary tale about how America treats its innovators. Hollywood will fight over this."
"I couldn't stop reading. I kept asking myself-why hasn't anyone told this story before?" Rex Marlowe stated.

Two men. One airline. And a dream too big to fail.
"WINGS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE" is the jaw-dropping true story of Barry Clare and Igor Dmitrowsky-two unlikely visionaries who set out to do what no one had accomplished in more than a generation: launch a brand-new U.S.-flagged international airline. With no Wall Street backing, no billion-dollar safety net, and no guarantee of success, they dared to build an aviation empire from scratch-one investor at a time.
In the late 2000's, while legacy carriers were collapsing and fuel prices were skyrocketing, Barry and Igor were assembling something extraordinary. Their plan was audacious: revive the elegance of transatlantic flight through Baltia Air Lines, an airline inspired by the golden age of aviation, with a flagship Boeing 747 and nonstop service between New York and Eastern Europe. What followed was a decade-long odyssey filled with triumph, heartbreak, loyalty, betrayal, and a level of regulatory warfare no entrepreneur could have imagined.
From packed investor presentations in barbershops and living rooms, to watching a mothballed 747 roar back to life in the Arizona desert, Barry and Igor pulled off milestone after milestone. They secured government route authority, hired an elite crew, passed the most demanding FAA oversight in the world, and stood mere steps from takeoff-literally-when disaster struck.
Each chapter reveals the relentless obstacles they faced: endless FAA certification hurdles, failed evacuation tests that destroyed millions of dollars in capital, and an unexpected SEC investigation that threatened to shut everything down. Yet through it all, one thing remained unshaken-the belief that ordinary people could achieve the extraordinary.
Part aviation thriller, part business drama, and part human tragedy, "WINGS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE" is more than the saga of an airline. It is a portrait of the American Dream at its rawest: risky, punishing, and breathtakingly beautiful. This is the story of how far one will go when passion eclipses reason... and when quitting simply isn't an option.
Perfect for aviation enthusiasts, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and anyone who has ever dared to dream beyond their circumstances, "WINGS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE" is a riveting tribute to perseverance, legacy, and the unbreakable spirit of those who refuse to let go-even when the world tells them to surrender.
