When Scott Birrell said he wanted to be a pilot after leaving school, his headmaster's response was crushing: 'Don't be stupid, boy.' This is the story of how he proved his ambition was anything but stupid.
After taking his first flying lesson at the age of 14, he went on to be a flying instructor, a commercial pilot flying the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, an international airline captain, a chief trainer, a senior pilot examiner and a major figure in the aviation world.
Read about his early "hooliganising", flying low over fishing boats, his near-fatal attempts at aerobatics as a fearless young pilot, his dodgy adventures delivering aircraft around the world, and the time he was unwittingly involved in snatching Israeli DC-3s from Entebbe the day before the notorious raid on the airport.
Discover what it is like to be on the flight deck of a jet airliner as, looking back on his career as a senior captain, he describes dangers he has dealt with and discusses how other pilots handled potentially (and sometimes actually) fatal situations. He writes about aviation safety and how the industry needs to change to survive.
If you are a pilot, private or commercial, if you ever fancied becoming one, or even if you have ever been a passenger in a plane, you will find this a fascinating read. It is a brilliant book about flying by a man who really knows his business.
