Book Description Hardbound. Condition: As New. New. It began with a photograph in a magazine of an odd little aircraft that looked as though it had an upside down tail. When Vijaypat Singhania Chairman of Raymond leading industrialist and a respected Pillar of Society saw the picture it inspired him to take off on an adventure that could only end in disaster if it didn't end in glory. For like his hero JRD Tata Singhania had a passion for flying and the aircraft he saw was a Shadow microlight a twin seater aircraft with a two stroke engine akin to a motobike's. An aircraft so small that in his own words sitting in it felt less like being in an aircraft than wearing one. In this tiny vehicle Singhania flew 5000 miles from England to India in 22 days from 18 August to 8 September 1988. In doing so he broke the existing record of 34 days over the same distance set the previous year by a British pilot Brian Milton and earned himself a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. As he prepares to set yet another record by flying to over 65 000 feet in a hot air balloon in November 2005 Vijaypat Singhania recounts his adventures both hair raising and hilarious as he fights his fear of sharks finds himself on a nudist beach in Iraklion encounters Greek beauties in Milos and tough talking Pathans in Gwadar with only an angel and three Gods for company. 288 pp. Seller Inventory # 57880
