Still Improving: Becoming the World's Most Experienced 747 Captain is
the second part of author, Nick Eades' autobiographical account of his
career in aviation as he rose up British Airways' seniority list to
become the world's youngest and then, the most experienced Boeing 747
captain. Following on from The Self-Improver: A Pilot's Journey, which
told the story about Nick's step-by-step path at the beginning of his
career, this follow-up account, sees him take up a job with the world's
favourite airline, British Airways. So begins another journey which
would lead to him captaining one of the most iconic aircraft. The book
takes us through the rigorous steps required of all top pilots as Nick
attempted to achieve his goal of a command on his favourite aeroplane,
the Boing 747. The book also relates the many exciting stories which saw
Nick placed in all sorts of situations requiring a wide range of skills
to handle both inside and outside the cockpit. Still Improving: Becoming
the World's Most Experienced 747 Captain and The Self-Improver: A
Pilot's Journey, the first edition of Nick Eades' autobiographical
account of his career in aviation, have been written in a way that will
appeal to the general readers who might not know much about aviation.
Nick Eades is originally from the South coast of England where he grew
up close to Shoreham Airport in Sussex in a family with a strong
aviation background. He now lives in East Grinstead with his wife Liz,
who he met while flying. They have two grown sons, James and Robert.
Nick plans to continue writing and is planning his third book, Overtaken
by a Butterfly: The Stories Behind Running the World, about his
experiences going running whilst travelling around the world during his
career as a pilot.
