Indomitable will

Francis Chichester had many adventures in the air and on the sea. His motto may well have been "crash, or crash through'. Chichester crashed his plane on this adventure - something he did on every flying adventure he undertook - and he just took it in his stride. He almost crashed his aircraft several other times.He was lost in the Australia outback with out water and with limited fuel, yet the man 'still came through'. This book displays his single minded desire to succeed, regardless of the risk. The pages do seem a bit like a boys own adventure. Nonetheless, it is a great read.
