Download or read book Wings Around the World written by Polly Vacher and published by Grub Street Publishing. This book was released on 2006-11-19 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pilot’s account of her around-the-world adventure, including color photos. On May 6, 2003, Polly Vacher, a fifty-nine-year-old mother of three, took off from an airport in Birmingham, England, seeking to become the first pilot to complete a solo flight around the world, via both Poles, in a single-engine aircraft. Despite having only a few years of flying experience, Polly had already completed a lateral solo circumnavigation of the world in 2001 for the charity Flying Scholarships for the Disabled. This second challenge, for the same charity, would make that achievement look like a casual jaunt. There would be no margin for error. Her voyage to the ice was a thirty-five thousand–mile adventure in her Piper Dakota that would take her to at least thirty different countries on every single continent. She had prepared meticulously for two years, was fully insured, and had all the requisite permits and visas. With her kinetic enthusiasm, charm, and persistence, she had already garnered numerous sponsors. However, as she took off on that blustery spring day—flanked by a Hurricane and a Spitfire and waved off by her family and the Prince of Wales—she suddenly felt so alone. She had begun a remarkable expedition that would gain her three world records—but would also encounter extremes of weather and emotion, much kindness and obstruction, and a little political intrigue. This is the story of that adventure. “Truly inspirational.” —Aviation News

Download or read book Verdict on Erebus written by Peter Mahon and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On 28 November 1979 a DC10 passenger jet airliner owned by Air New Zealand, carrying out a tourist flight from New Zealand to Antarctica and back, flew in broad daylight into the lower slopes of Mount Erebus in Antarctica. There were no survivors of the crash and 257 people lost their lives. The New Zealand Government appointed me to be a Royal Commissioner of Inquiry to investigate the disaster and to report to the Government my opinion to the cause ... The aircraft was navigated by the inertial navigation system which has for many years dispensed with the need for human navigators on commercial flights ... The INS on this DC10 was found to have been operating accurately during the flight, so the aircrew had always known where they were. But following the disaster there were many senior pilots in Air New Zealand who suspected that the standard flight track to Antarctica had not been the flight track which had been typed into the aircraft computer on the morning of the flight. They believed that the standard flight track had been changed without the knowledge of the crew. As things turned out the theory proved to be correct ..."--Peter Mahon, Foreword.
