ABOUT
Francis Chichester's name is synonymous with the spirit of adventure and courage at its highest level. Ride on the Wind is the story of his adventures with his sea-plane, Elijah.
After flying from London to Sydney, he simply decided to look for 'the most interesting countries I could find, uninhabited, hostile, or little known'. A thrilling adventure and the story of a man's journey alone in a plane for several months, above uncharted territory, Ride on the Wind is at its heart a fascinating and vibrant record of a world that was once very different.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images, fold out map, portrait on title page.
