The complete autobiography of the great adventurer Sir Francis Chichester the first and fastest man to singlehandedly circumnavigate the globeAged 18 and with a taste for adventure Francis Chichester emigrated to New Zealand with ten pounds in his pocket. He tried his hand at a number of ill-fated careers--a boxer shepherd lumberjack and gold prospector to name a few--before returning to England. Having qualified as a pilot in 1929 he embarked on his most famous solo flight in the de Havilland Gipsy Moth from England to Australia. Shortly afterward he survived a near-death catastrophe in an attempt to fly solo around the world. Turning to sailing he won the first single-handed transatlantic yacht race in Gipsy Moth III despite having been diagnosed with cancer two years previously. In 1967
he became the first person to sail around the world solo from west to east via the great capes. Here his entire life--including his greatest failures and successes--are told by the man who experienced it all firsthand. A foreword from his son Giles Chichester is also included.
