A LOST PILOT. A HIDDEN TREASURE. A SQUADRON OF MISFIT FLYERS WHO WILL FIND BOTH OR DIE TRYING. The companion volume to Flying Naked: An American Pilot in the Amazon Jungle. Together the two books conclude Michael Bleriot's fascinating Emerald World series of aviation adventures, capping the most original series of flying memoirs in years! "A FUN READ COVER-TO-COVER..." - Jeffrey Miller, author of The Panama Affair "The best flying stories since Ernie Gann's epics..." - Dave Schlener, ATP When a sleep-deprived American Air Force pilot in Panama has a vision of tropical treasure, his misfit companions set out to bring the dream to reality. Thus begins a dramatic and hilarious shakedown of every country south of the Texas border, from the jungles of the Yucatan peninsula to the salt flats of Bolivia, as the well-intentioned but often overeager flyers try to collect the dream's baubles and solve the mystery behind them all. Based on Bleriot’s own experience as a counter-drug pilot in South America, the Emerald World series of aviation adventures is a tribute to the U.S. Air Force crews and mechanics who flew and operated in the Amazon in the 1990s. If you like books by Dale Brown and Vince Flynn, you'll love Michael Bleriot's Flying Naked! Fans of Ernest Gann, Richard Bach, and Antoine de Saint Exupery will also appreciate the flying realism and studied appreciation of the flying world. Order today with one click for Kindle or print! "Terrific story, well-written and entertaining! - Jerry Anderson, aviation artist and owner of Jerry Anderson Art "Good flying and tight pucker power over the jungle..." - J.R. Hafer, aviation writer & publisher I'm a former U.S. Air Force pilot who flew in Central and South America supporting the counter-drug effort. Mostly from the Panama Canal Zone, where many of the Emerald World stories are based.  I also flew strat airlift and helicopters and later spent time with a commercial airline.  If you're interested in flying, especially bush flying where the shackles of radar and air traffic controllers and busy airports are off, you'll enjoy the Emerald World series of aviation adventures.  It's a tribute to remarkable people and places, as well as to the plane that got us all there.
