In this exciting & unusual travel book, Martin Buckley journeys through many places, from Benbecula to Rarotonga, from Sudan to New Zeal&, from Corsica to Tucson, Arizona
- but the country he explores is a romantic & dangerous place that seduces all who travel there
- the sky. Three years ago, Martin Buckley gained a pilot`s licence, & set off to `hitch-hike` by plane around the world. His encounters with a range of sometimes eccentric & always obsessive pilots led to aid flights through war zones in a UN Cessna, aerobatics in a jet fighter, chasing goats across snowy mountains by helicopter & touching the edge of the stratosphere in a Learjet. The result is a wholly original travel book, free-spirited & often very funny, weaving a bird`s-eye view of aviation`s peculiar history into the narrative & offering intimate insights into the passion & perils of the pilot`s seat.
