At age 19 Ryan Campbell CIRCUMNAVIGATED THE GLOBE SOLO IN A SINGLE ENGINE AIRCRAFT
When Ryan Campbell was six, he fell in love with airplanes. Inspired by his first flight and his uncle and grandfather - both aviators - flying was a passion that dominated his childhood. It was no surprise to his friends and family when Ryan, at the age of 15, became Australia's youngest aviator.
In Born to Fly, Ryan recounts his remarkable journey of becoming the youngest pilot in history to fly solo around the world. Drawing on the advice of renowned aviators such as Dick Smith, Jim Hazelton and mentor Ken Evers, Ryan fundraised and planned with great determination before setting out on his thrilling 70-day odyssey, landing 34 times in 15 countries and covering more than 24,000 nautical miles.
From his wings icing up over Greenland glaciers to a heart-stopping moment over Indonesian air space, to abuse from an airport official in Greece to awe-inspiring views of molten lava entering the Pacific, this real-life adventure shares with us the terror and exhilaration that can only be experienced by those flying alone with only one engine.
