Amanda Harrison is a commercial pilot with a tremendous sense of adventure. Eighteen months after being diagnosed with breast cancer, she started her journey in a Tiger Moth which inspired this book. Inspired by her father's remote-controlled aircraft models, she started flying lessons at the age of 14 and gained her PPL after attending university. She then trained to be a commercial pilot and flight instructor specializing in vintage aircraft - an incredible feat for someone with severe dyslexia and with only five per cent of commercial pilots being female. Though the 'Solo2Darwin' flight is her most ambitious to date, Amanda has achieved success in many international aviation competitions including the 75th Anniversary Schneider Trophy Race and being a holder of four UK speed records for distance over time. Amanda believes that ordinary people can do extraordinary things and is a living example of this. She is passionate about inspiring others to keep their dreams alive and live them to the full.
