Airborne

by Neil Williams

Overview

Due to his reputation for being able to handle the rarest, oldest and most difficult airplanes, Neil Williams was called on to fly some of the most famous and demanding aircraft ever built; from Spitfire, Mosquito, Lancaster, Sea Fury, Yak, Harvard and Heinkel. Neil Williams' experience in these aircraft varied from the exhilaration of a Spitfire first solo; the loneliness of being lost at night over the Indian Ocean; the catastrophic experience of crashing an aircraft in front of 80,000 air show spectators and, most remarkably of all, his amazing crash landing following an in-flight structural failure - a feat which has entered aviation legend and for which he was awarded the Queen's Commendation for Valuable Service in the Air. This is a book to inspire, a book that captures the true essence, adventure and romance of flight.
