Description
Pilot Down, Presumed Dead in a Special Illustrated Edition
A gripping tale of survival and one man's encounter with nature, this story has appeared on numerous reading lists since its initial publication. Young pilot Steve Ferris makes a living taking fishermen from San Diego to coastal settlements in Baja California.
On one return trip, Ferris flies into a sudden summer storm that can strike with near-hurricane force. He fights through the tempest and is blown far out to sea while raging winds threaten to tear his aircraft apart. When a beach appears in the distance, he takes a chance and tries to land, beginning an extraordinary journey.
