His encounters with a range of sometimes eccentric and 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 and touching the edge of the stratosphere in a Learjet. \n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe result is a wholly original travel book free-spirited and often very funny weaving a bird's-eye view of aviation's peculiar history into the narrative and offering intimate insights into the passion and perils of the pilot's seat.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53816481579350,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/buckley-martin-absolute-altitude-9781784700645","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
