Description:
<p><b>A magical, airborne story of father and son.</b></p><p>Jonathan Rotondo was 28 when his father, Antonio, died. Numb with grief, Rotondo decided to track down the object that had once given his father so much joy: a tiny single-seat biplane called <i>Charlie Foxtrot Foxtrot Alpha Mike</i>.</p><p>Thus began Rotondo’s journey to retrace his father’s life from Italy to Canada via the plains of East Africa. In his search for <i>Foxtrot Alpha Mike</i>, Rotondo meets a host of colourful characters: an Australian expat living in Kenya who inspired Antonio’s love of flight; a soft-spoken Swiss-Canadian who managed to get <i>Foxtrot Alpha Mike</i> into the air; a free-spirited dreamer who bought the plane to dogfight with his mates.</p><p>In this uplifting story of a father and son, Rotondo catches fleeting glimpses of his father and rediscovers his own passion for flight. All the while he captures &#34;the rush of speed, the exhilaration of the wind’s breath rushing through the cockpit and along the fabric flanks, the surreal sensation of gravity’s pull and lift’s might.&#34;</p>
