There is virtually no parallel to the kind of flying these guys did..."- Dave Schlener, ATP Based on Bleriot's own experience as a counter-drug pilot in South America, Flying Naked's colorful characters, sharp dialogue, and fast pacing bring the quest to life - as do his hair-raising descriptions of flight during the Colombia war on drugs.
