Book Description

From the steaming equatorial jungles of the South Pacific to the frozen wastelands of the high Arctic, often pursued by armed revolutionaries, marauding tribesmen, and the occasional corrupt bureaucrat, a team of highly skilled professionals seek to find and recover some of aviation's lost heritage. Learn what it's like to endure bone-chilling cold nearly two hundred feet beneath a dark North Carolina lake as they struggle to raise a B-25 bomber lost for over fifty years. Experience the fear of crashing your ship onto the rocks in the "fjord of death" hundreds of miles above the Arctic Circle with no hope of rescue. After having been nearly kidnapped by guerillas in the Philippines, problems like running out of air while trying to get untangled sixty feet down become almost mundane. Part autobiographical, part historical, Ride with the Pirates is all adventure.
