The magical, lyrical, hysterical flying adventure from the author of Memories of an Emerald World and The Jungle Express!

"A FUN READ COVER-TO-COVER... Bleriot is an excellent storyteller!" - Jeffrey Miller, author of The Panama Affair

"The best flying stories since Ernie Gann's epics. Mike Bleriot "gets it." He has captured everything from the emotions to the scenery to the personalities to the cultures. There is virtually no parallel to the kind of flying these guys did..." - Dave Schlener, ATP

When a sleep-deprived American Air Force pilot in Panama has a vision of tropical treasure, his misfit companions set out to bring the dream to reality. Thus begins a dramatic and hilarious shakedown of every country south of the Texas border, from the jungles of the Yucatan peninsula to the salt flats of Bolivia, as the well-intentioned but often overeager flyers try to collect the dream's baubles and solve the mystery behind them all.

Based on Bleriot's own experience as a counter-drug pilot in South America, FLYING NAKED's colorful characters, sharp dialogue, and fast pacing bring the quest to life - as do his hair-raising descriptions of flight during the Colombia war on drugs.

Part military memoir, part aviation history, and all action & adventure, FLYING NAKED is a tribute to the crews and mechanics who flew and maintained the C-27A Spartan, the "Mighty Chuck," and a tribute to the plane itself.

The adventure starts here - order today with one click for Kindle or print!
