Sir Francis at the right price
With Sir Francis Chichester and his Gipsy Moth very much with us, a paperback of his auto biography, The Lonely Sea and The Sky, has come at the right time.
The Pan edition, selling for 90 cents, is illustrated with the many pictures that were in the hard cover including those historic ones _of his aircraft at Cascade Landing, Norfolk Island, in 1931, and upside down in the Lord Howe Island lagoon the same year. He can also be seen rebuilding the fuselage on Lord Howe, helped by the islanders— who reminded him of that incident during his recent dramatic return to the South Pacific.
A fascinating, remarkable book about a British all-rounder.
