Chopper Pilot

* Item is brand new, and in stock.

* Item is a Book.

* This entertaining collection of flying anecdotes begins a CFS Dunnottar in 1964, with the author recalling his high-jinks with his later to be famous pal, Scully Levine. The stories of incidents, adventures, and mishaps – some sad, most funny – continue in chronological order through some of South Africa’s more recent turbulent times right up to the fire-fighting duties on the Cape in January 2000. There are chapters on squadron ops, mountain flying, various bush-war sorties, and maritime work, as well as specific chapters on the Puma, Super Frelon and the various Eurocopter machines of Ciskei. The book has a lavish number of photos, ranging from black and white family album snaps to some excellent and rare images. Although most of the tales are of helicopter adventures this is not a book just for chopper enthusiasts. Anyone who flies in SA, or has an interest in the SAAF, will enjoy this engaging and enjoyable work.
