About this ebook

A RARE TRUE STORY OF GOOD FORTUNE

 

When two starry-eyed twins from the wrong side of the tracks see a Boeing 707 at Cape Town airport in the 1960s, it's love at first sight. There's just one problem – how on earth will they fulfil their dream of working in aviation one day? After all, this is still apartheid South Africa.

 

After a disastrous start to French at high school, the pair discover an unlikely aptitude for the language. It astounds their teachers, opens doors and paves the way for a scholarship from the French government.

 

They go to Paris to study aeronautical engineering, and a future full of possibility beckons. Cape Town seems a lifetime away.
