Before taking to the sea, Chichester made a firm reputation for himself as an aviation pioneer. \u003ci\u003eRide on the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of his adventures with his sea-plane, Elijah. After flying from London to Sydney, he simply decided to look for 'the most interesting countries I could find, uninhabited, hostile, or little known'. From Sydney, he embarked on an epic flight that included crossing into forbidden territory in Formosa in a raging storm, a narrow escape from Chinese pirates, another from a typhoon, and a spectacular crash in Japan - a remarkable achievement for a solo amateur pilot. A thrilling adventure and the story of a man's journey alone in a plane for several months, above uncharted territory, \u003ci\u003eRide on the Wind\u003c\/i\u003e is at its heart a fascinating and vibrant record of a world that was once very different.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47890349031575,"sku":"9781509825769","price":1876.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781509825769.webp?v=1781179636","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ride-on-the-wind-9781509825769","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
