Dave Jacka is a pilot with quadriplegia who flew solo around the entire continent of Australia, over 11,000 miles! He just wrote a book about it. Super cool!!!

BOOK LAUNCH – On a Wing and a Chair: An Epic Solo Flight Around Australia

I’m excited to announce the launch of my second book, On a Wing and a Chair, on 15th September 2022.

On a Wing and a Chair is the story of how I became the first person with quadriplegia to fly solo around Australia, covering a distance of almost 18,000 kilometres, the equivalent of flying from Melbourne to London.

The story brings the reader into this thrilling adventure. We experience the highs and lows of six years of preparation; then the trials and rewards of an epic 38-day flight in my custom-adapted aircraft.

If you plan on attending, please book directly with Readings through this link: www.trybooking.com/events/landing?eid=924037&

Location: Readings Hawthorn, 701 Glenferrie Rd, Hawthorn, Victoria, 3122
