Sir Francis Chichester
Gipsy Moth Circles The World
Audio Cassette
(Books on Tape, Inc. Oct. 23, 1986)
Francis Chichester was an English Charles Lindbergh. In the early decades of this century he mapped new air routes, flew uncharted skies, pioneered solo in his lovely plane.
Chichester's body aged but not his spirit. In his sixties he set himself the ultimate sailing challenge...to circle the world alone. This indomitable man tells how he turned his dream into a remarkable triumph. For on his completion of the 29,630 mile circumnavigation, Queen Elizabeth II knighted him with the very sword that her namesake gave to Sir Francis Drake four centuries ago.
