‘A witty, sometimes heart-stopping, and always engrossing path from “boy pilot” to elite aviator.’ – Jaundiced Eye columnist, William Saunderson-MeyerRobert Schapiro always wanted to fly. Challenging anti-Semitic bullying, mockery and fierce rivalry, he realised his dream by earning his wings in the South African Air Force and going on to command C-47 Dakotas in the Border War.He joined South African Airways (SAA) in 1979, soon learning it was a time when SAA crews were dominated by the ‘Royal Family’ – captains who thought themselves above the rules and who spent time overseas on drinking binges or coaxing air hostesses to be their ‘airline wives’.When sanctions forced SAA to cut back on its routes, he was seconded to Japan’s Nippon Cargo Airlines, routinely flying between New York and Tokyo and grappling with often-hilarious cultural misunderstandings as he adapted to a Japanese style of operations.Schapiro is disarmingly frank about life as an international pilot. He divulges near misses, emergency landings, navigation errors, passenger shenanigans (seat sex, anyone?), how pilots control rowdy travellers and absorbing detail about the technique of flying different aircraft types.Uplifting and humorous, his memoir offers a rare slice of aviation history.

I've racked up more than a million frequent flier miles over the course of a 50-year career as a journalist traveling across 86 countries. And until this week, I never gave much thought to the folks who were piloting those extraordinary aerial machines that flung me across the world with scarcely a hiccup. Until I read Robert Schapiro's astounding, moving and enlightening tribute to these captains of the sky, "Secrets from the Cockpit: Pilots Behaving Badly and Other Flying Stories." Schapiro was one of those giants of global aviation—a 747 captain who'd risen from a South African Air Force recruit to piloting the largest commercial airliner ever in general service in the world's air corridors. He cared for his craft and his profession—deeply. But more than that, he was a truly remarkable and sensitive individual, a totally devoted husband and father. All this comes through admirably and inspiringly in these pages which, a caution, you will find difficult to put down once you have plunged in. This book is not only a seminal work for anyone who flies or anticipates flying, it is equally a work of the heart, a commitment to a larger end than simply getting more than 400,000 pounds of metal (and that's before you load on any passengers, crew or cargo) halfway or more around the world. There are fun and exciting stories here, personal relationships, a few cautionary tales, a taste of life in South Africa during the scourge of apartheid (which the writer/pilot abhorred), and above all a first-rate and utterly compelling yarn from beginning to end.
