The locations read like a spy thriller - from the arctic wastes of Greenland to the steamy jungles of the Congo. There is a chapter about his piloting career before the 747, flying turboprops in Afghanistan and West Africa; and a chapter about the night his jumbo passed over a huge area of underwater lights in the middle of the Pacific, which made world news at the time and remains unexplained. This new edition, the Captain's Edition, features extra photos, as well as introductory essays by Christiaan and publisher Charles Kennedy, and is essential for fans of aviation, geography, and photography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat: hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePages: 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 12 inches x 8.3 inches x 0.5 inches\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 2 pounds 12 ounces\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor biog:-\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristiaan van Heijst was born in the Netherlands in 1983.
