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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54221674119512,"sku":"9781784700645","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781784700645_f0b9854b-152d-48a8-8d47-b21a8d13a4b2.jpg?v=1764667825","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/absolute-altitude","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
