Head in the Clouds

Since the pioneers took their first tentative steps into the air in the 1970s, we pilots have enjoyed a golden age. Face in the breeze, arms outstretched, following the birds and soaring high up to the clouds... for fifty years we’ve chased and achieved man’s oldest dream. In this exclusive hardback collection of fifty stories, pilots describe the highs and lows in free flying. Whether crossing the Himalaya, being sucked to 20,000 ft inside a cumulonimbus or simply trying to stay sane at work while cumulus clouds pop overhead, the stories convey the joys and challenges involved.
