Just For the Love of Flying This book is about an incredibly modest and accomplished South African aviator. In 1954 at the age of 32 she and a companion traveled from England through the length of Africa in an Auster Aiglet airplane landing in 54 places during the six-week flight. No radio, no ELT, no GPS. Just maps. She couldn�t carry a firearm over Moroccan airspace and couldn�t be without one over the Belgian Congo. |

"Ms. Rowell�s experiences are reminiscent of the adventures of Beryl Markham. The book describes a journey that was successful against improbable odds. In the description of the flight and her other aviation experiences, the reader enjoys an insight into a woman who was always graceful when doors were shut, and who simply outperformed everyone in sight to achieve her objectives," says Donald Engen, Director, National Air and Space Museum.
