About the Author
David Lanigan first flew in an aeroplane at the age of 12 at a local civilian flying training school. This sparked a love for flying in the young man, prompting him to learn to fly and join the RAF at age 18; what followed was a long and exceptional career in flying, both with the RAF and with private companies. Follow along as this young man from Dorset sees the world, builds a family, and saves lives, all the while learning more and more about helicopters and life.
