The Central African Republic is one of the poorest and most inaccessible regions of the world. To be able to reach its people, the Catholic Mission uses an aircraft. For six months the author commanded this aircraft. Besides serving the mission he also served several NGO's such as Doctors without Borders and the International Red Cross. Travel with him through Africa and discover that this continent is not always dominated by misery and poverty. His fascinating perspective will provide you with a relativistic view of Western norms and values.Since childhood, Hans Swellengrebel has been enthralled by aviation. After ten years of flying gliders, he decided to spread his wings wider and became a flight instructor in the US. He then became a missionary pilot in New Guinea. This was quite a challenge and unfortunately a motorcycle accident shattered the boyhood dream come true. His second chance in Africa turned out to be a great success and this book is a testimony to that.
