Summary
"...Bird's eye-view of flying in the fifties. Max Oettlé, who flew until he was 70 years old when Parkinson's Disease intervened, flies now on paper as he tells the story of a little boy's dream transformed into reality by circumstance and determination. A fascinating series of aerial adventures in a Tiger Moth spanning the length and breadth of Southern Africa during five glorious years"--from p. [4] of cover.
