Solo to Sydney is a book by Sir Francis Chichester about his solo flight in the 1920s from England to Australia in a de Havilland DH.60 Gipsy Moth biplane. Francis Chichester had many adventures in the air and on the sea. His motto may well have been "crash, or crash through'. Chichester crashed his plane on this adventure - something he did on every flying adventure he undertook - and he just took it in his stride. He almost crashed his aircraft several other times.He was lost in the Australia outback with out water and with limited fuel, yet the man 'still came through'. This book displays his single minded desire to succeed, regardless of the risk. The book was first published in 1930 and subsequent editions have been published by Stein and Day.
