Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a defective undercarriage, minimum fuel, lousy weather and relying on primitive instrumentation, how do you land a Boeing? 'By the Seat of my Pants: Memoir of a Pilot' is a deeply personal memoir of courageous determination. One man's life of flying adventures; occasionally perilous, often hilarious. An intrepid but humble man refuses to allow his dyslexia and poverty to decide his future. Captain Rosslee tracks aviation history captaining twenty-seven aircraft types from Gipsy Moths to Boeings. During WW2, as a Junkers Ju86 Allied bomber pilot, he contends with makeshift maps, primitive instrumentation and limited fuel over the inhospitable East African bush. He survives three WW2 forced-landings. Landing the first aircraft with passengers at Heathrow, he is later invited to meet Queen Elizabeth. And, with Comet1, doomed to disintegrate mid-air, pure chance keeps him alive. Over the Indian Ocean, two dead engines, the third about to die, where is his closest land?

Book Synopsis By the Seat of My Pants: A PilotÕs Progress from 1917 to 1930 by : Dean C. Smith
Download or read book By the Seat of My Pants: A PilotÕs Progress from 1917 to 1930 written by Dean C. Smith and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-01-21 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the Seat of My Pants is Dean Smith's story of his life as a flying cadet in WWI, an airmail pilot in the 1920's and, lastly, as the lead aviator in Admiral Byrd's 1928 Antarctic expedition. Told in a self-deprecating style with a matter of fact sense of humor, it is an engaging read from start to finish. Passages describe airmail runs heading West with no maps or runways available, and Smith's interesting take on the Byrd Expedition is a version of events not in the official records. Indeed, Smith claims his log-diary, which mysteriously went missing once the party returned stateside, was most likely stolen by Byrd himself lest it conflict with his narrative of the expedition.

Book Synopsis From The Seat Of My Pants by : Ty Kiisel
Download or read book From The Seat Of My Pants written by Ty Kiisel and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-05-11 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Seat of My Pants is a look at motorcycle touring from the perspective of someone who’s spent countless hours and tens of thousands of miles in the saddle. “It’s the book I was looking for when I started touring fourteen or fifteen years ago,” says the author. Many people, even those who have been riding for years, have never experienced what it’s like to tour the country from the saddle of a motorcycle. Maybe they are intimidated and anxious about going on an organized tour. Maybe they aren’t confident in their riding skills. They might even be worried about the average daily miles that could be required on a tour. Or they are new to riding and, because of their inexperience on the road, just don’t feel like they are ready to strike out on a tour. Filled with great advice on what you need to know about the road, the right motorcycle for touring, and how to find like-minded souls to ride with (if you don’t want to strike out on your own), this book details everything you need to know, everything you need to have, and what you need to do to get ready for your first or your fiftieth motorcycle tour. Personal stories and experiences bring the author’s advice to life as Ty shares his successes and the challenges of exploring the country from the seat of his pants. One thousand miles away from home, Ty is often approached by someone who invariably says, “I used to ride.” He’s started asking them, “Why did you stop?” After reading Ty’s book, you might find yourself looking at the map and getting ready to set out on a motorcycle adventure yourself.
