Wings Around the World: The Exhilarating Story of one Woman's Epic Flight from the North Pole to Antarctica

Wings Around the World: The Exhilarating Story of one Woman's Epic Flight from the North Pole to Antarctica by Polly Vacher
2008 | ISBN: 1904943993 | English | 160 pages | EPUB | 19 MB

Polly Vacher wanted to become the first pilot to complete a solo flight around the world via both Poles in a single-engine aircraft. Her 60,000 mile voyage would take her to every continent. She prepared meticulously for two years and had garnered multifarious sponsors.

However, as she took off, 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 see her encounter extremes of weather and emotion, kindness, obstruction and also a little political intrigue.
