Product Description

Mollison the Flying Scotsman: The Life of Pioneer Aviator James Allan Mollison, David Luff 

James Allan Mollison (1905-1959) was one of the greatest solo pilots of the golden age of early aviation. Renowned for his sheer bravery and unrelenting determination in the air, Mollison was the first to cross both the North and South Atlantic oceans alone (in 1932 and 1933, respectively) and was the first person to fly solo from the United Kingdom across the Sahara to the Cape of Good Hope.Born into a Scottish middle-class family at the beginning of the century, Mollison joined the Royal Air Force at age eighteen, soon becoming its youngest qualified flight instructor. Before his record-breaking solo air crossings he was in turn a bohemian in Tahiti in its pre-tourist days, a Bondi beach attendant, and a would-be speedway rider in Adelaide before transporting mail and passengers for Australian National Airways in the 1930s.David Luff chronicles these adventures as well as Mollison's .
