What's Luck Got to Do With It?: Flying Memoirs

Luck is a vital part of a pilot's career and timing is another. The author spent some 16000 hours at the controls of aeroplanes, always fascinated by what you could see from them, what you could do with them, the places you could go with them, the skills you needed to get the best out of them and most of all the sheer joy of flying them. This book is a treasury of his experiences. Readers are taken on journeys from Cessna 150s to Boeing 747s, from Hurn Airport to Kai Tak, from smooth touchdowns to an upside-down landing, while reflecting on what luck had to do with it all.
