"There are two ways to land a plane safely on a jungle airstrip and Rufus McGee didn’t know either of them, which is why he crashed and strew airplane parts across half a mile of the only open patch of dirt within two hundred miles..."

And that's just the START of the book!  Aviation adventure in the Amazon jungle as pilots and crews of a military airlift squadron support counter-drug operations in Colombia and Peru.  Bleriot's quick wit and engaging prose carry the reader back and forth across Central and South America in exciting stories that capture the aura of the jungle as well as the thrill of flight.  Based on the author’s real-life adventures as a counterdrug pilot, The Jungle Express will leave you in awe of the spectacular, dangerous, and utterly believable stunts that this colorful band of flyers took to get the job done.  It’s a gripping and hilarious read on flying and military life – and a paean for one of the most dangerous and beautiful places on the planet.
