Tracey Curtis-Taylor has created headlines around the world with
three epic flights in a 1942 Boeing Stearman biplane. Paying homage
to two historic female aviators, she flew from Cape Town to
Goodwood in 2013, from London to Australia in 2015 and, two years
later, completed a transcontinental flight across the USA, after
surviving a plane crash during the expedition. But her daring
exploits came at a huge personal cost. From the moment the Light
Aircraft Association (LAA) awarded her a prestigious trophy for
'navigation, a feat of aviation, endurance and tenacity', several
men with personal grudges made it their mission not just to strip
Tracey of her award but to destroy her reputation. Now, for the
first time and with searing honesty, Tracey tells, in breath-taking
detail, the remarkable story of how she overcame extreme adversity
to complete her three epic journeys. And she charts the bitter
campaign waged against her, revealing the rank misogyny and
hypocrisy that exists in British aviation. In Bird, her unique and
action-packed memoir, she also tells how: * She cheated death twice
- once in a high-speed boating accident and again when her historic
Stearman crashed in the Arizona desert. * Her unconventional
upbringing sparked her spirit of adventure - but a shocking secret
drove her family apart * She fulfilled her dreams only after
overcoming a series of near-critical setbacks Tracey took her first
flying lesson at 16 but it was in New Zealand where she properly
learned to fly and had her first taste of piloting historic
aircraft Overcoming a series of traumatic events, including a
failed marriage, Tracey returned to England and, in 2009, was
determined to emulate the heroics of Lady Heath, the first UK woman
to hold a pilot's licence and the first person to fly from Cape
Town to London in an open-cockpit aircraft.
On the night of November 19, 1973, following surgery, thirty-one-year-old wife and mother Betty J. Eadie died....
This is her extraordinary story of the events that followed, her astonishing proof of life after physical death. She saw more, perhaps than any other person has seen before and shares her almost photographic recollections of the remarkable details.
Compelling, inspiring, and infinitely reassuring, her vivid account gives us a glimpse of the peace and unconditional love that awaits us all. More important, Betty's journey offers a simple message that can transform our lives today, showing us our purpose and guiding us to live the way we were meant to -- joyously, abundantly, and with love.
