Winging It: The Adventures of Tim Wallis Peat, Neville Take wild red deer in plague numbers, spread them across a remote and rugged terrain, throw in helicopters hell-bent on shooting or recovering them live, and then add a daring pilot called Tim Wallis. This book is about how Wallis built a multi-million-dollar business out of his weekend hobby of deer-stalking. And how he flew helicopters where they’d never been before, in New Zealand and around the world. In the 1980s he ventured into tourism and vintage warplanes. He started collecting World War Two fighter aircraft. Every two years, since he founded the event in 1988, these planes can be seen in action at Warbirds Over Wanaka. Wallis has survived shocking accidents because of his fighting spirit, drive and courage. An action-packed and inspirational story about a Kiwi legend for readers aged 12-15 years. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
