Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. On an Autumn morning in 19 57 a very junior and very frightened Royal Air Force officer stood in a swaying balloon cage looking with great trepidation at the ground eight hundred feet below. A sharp bang on the shoulder from his instructor propelled him on his ?rst parachute descent. Now, nearly one thousand jumps later, Wing Commander Peter Hearn writes of his career as a professional parachutist. He tells of his apprenticeship as a Parachute jumping Instructor with Britain?s airborne forces; of his pioneer work in the techniques of military free fall parachuting; of his leadership of the ?rst RAF Free Fall Parachute Display Team; of his performances as an international sport parachutist; of adventures in the Far East as a display jumper and as a member of ajungle Rescue Team; of four eventful years as parachuting adviser to the Special Air Service; and of his recent experiences as Commander of one of the most unique units in the Royal Air . Force?No I Parachute Training School. His Parachuting experiences?s0metimes hazardous, sometimes hilarious, always fascinating?have taken him to Hong Kong and Hollywood, Berlin and Brisbane, Libyan deserts and Malayan jungles, Norwegian snows and Mediterranean waters, village fetes in the Thames Valley and a royal performance in Thailand. Woven into his own recollections are the stories of those he has met along his parachuting way, and brief surveys of the development of sport and military parachuting. Parachutist is an absorbing insight into a little chronicled world of action and adventure. It conveys-?in word and photograph?the pure exhilaration of leaping into space, and the deep camaraderie enjoyed by those who do it.
