Fasten your seat belts for exciting flights through the adventure filled skies of Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Indian Ocean with this entertaining and informative book by Jimbo Pearce.
In his first book, Rainbows and Thunderstorms, he relates stories of courage, humour, adventure, tragedy and many of his aviation misadventures.
He introduces you to the colourful and interesting characters that he met along the way. You’ll discover how Jimbo mastered the skills of flying with basic instruments and how he aviated all over Canada’s west coast as well as over vast and remote areas around the world.
You will learn about some of the history of aviation in Canada and about the dangerous ferry flights from Canada to Europe and Africa made by young brave airmen (including Jimbo’s Dad) during the Second World War.
Prepare for take-off and for many thrilling rides with Jimbo Pearce, a seasoned bush and float plane aviator who has flown nearly 25,000 hours from 1966 until he retired in 2010.
