Desert Wings
Bok av John Jochimsen
An aircraft arrives in Libya and the crew get out when all the passangers have disembarked. While sitting in the airport lounge over a coffee, Jim, the pilot, is taken away and charged with drug smuggling. He spends months in jail and is released when he proves his innocence. He buys a Dakota and with two others starts a small airline. Work comes in for the aircraft in the form of transporting goods, assisting in putting out an oilfield fire, etc.
The airline grows and moves to England but the DC3 is left behind in Libya. The crew fly her for the last time before making the move, when they experience a dramatic crash in the desert.
