The Congo Chronicles: a Pilot's Memoir Thomas Dunham

Set in the turbulent days of the Belgian Congo's explosion into independence in 1960, a young American pilot, Jack McKenzie, is thrown into a series of dangerous, fast-moving adventures as he tries to survive the chaos and save his friends and the girl he loves from the anarchy that engulfs the country as independence is forced on the former Belgian colony. Only his courage and resourcefulness enable him to survive. Along the way he is thrown into contact with African spiritual powers that change his life forever. While a work of fiction, The Congo Chronicles are based on the author's experiences while living in West Africa and the Congo.
