Book Description

"In 1996, successful businessman and certified pilot, Scott Griffin, decided to break from the comfortable routine of his life to go to work for the Flying Doctors Service, an African organization that flies doctors and nurses to remote areas to administer medical assistance. Griffin also made the daring decision to fly his small, single-engine Cessna 180 solo from Canada to Africa and back again." "My Heart is Africa is the engaging, personal story of his two-year aviation adventure throughout Africa. It is also the story of Africa - its problems and people, its landscapes and limitations, its culture and courage. Griffin's intrepid flying odyssey not only takes the reader on a journey across Africa but into the lives of the doctors, nurses, aid workers and eccentric characters that crossed his path along the way."--BOOK JACKET.
