Beschreibung
THIS IS A TRUE AVIATION CHRONICLE AND ALMOST AN AIRCRAFT TRAGEDY, BARELY AVOIDED THROUGH A SERIES OF CHALLENGES TRIGGERED BY BAD WEATHER.
This is where pilots who brave the elements and the dangers of bush flying excel in their intrepid ways to deliver the people and goods that are necessary for survival.
The story is written by the pilot who survived this ordeal and lived to tell the tale. The location is the heavily forested Western region of Guyana, (originally British Guiana), and based on the gold mining that was such an essential part of life in the early 1950s and '60s.
The gold mining entrepreneurs (Pork Knockers) were an integral part of the unique history of the country and the bush pilots who supported them during the "yellow fever" rush. Many personal stories and tragedies made this period interesting times to be involved in aviation. Many pilot lives were lost and some aircraft and bodies were never recovered.
This is one of the exciting stories that will thrill you, especially if you are an aviation enthusiast!
