Flying Naked 2: The Hunt for Vilcabamba's Gold (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780983375180)

The companion volume to Flying Naked: An American Pilot in the Amazon Jungle. Together the two books conclude Michael Bleriot's fascinating Emerald World series of aviation adventures, capping the most original series of flying memoirs in years!

When a sleep-deprived American Air Force pilot in Panama has a vision of tropical treasure, his misfit companions set out to bring the dream to reality. Thus begins a dramatic and hilarious shakedown of every country south of the Texas border, from the jungles of the Yucatan peninsula to the salt flats of Bolivia, as the well-intentioned but often overeager flyers try to collect the dream's baubles and solve the mystery behind them all.

Based on Bleriot's own experience as a counter-drug pilot in South America, the Emerald World series of aviation adventures is a tribute to the U.S. Air Force crews and mechanics who flew and operated in the Amazon in the 1990s.
