Meet Henry Horta / Conoce a Henry Horta
Raised in California and Mexico during the 1960s, Captain Enrique Henry Horta's childhood was steeped in the vibrant cultures of both regions. Most of his early years were spent in Southern California, where the seeds of his future were planted. Inspired by Neil Armstrong's historic moonwalk, Enrique dreamed of becoming an astronaut, but a chance viewing of Airport '74, featuring Charlton Heston as a charismatic airline captain, shifted his aspirations. Suddenly, he envisioned a future as an airline captain, commanding a Boeing 747 with the elegance and poise Heston portrayed.
In Captain Bligh Flies Again, Henry Horta picks up where his first memoir left off, plunging readers into a whirlwind journey through stormy skies, rogue waves, war zones, and distant lands. From hair-raising emergency landings in a Boeing 747 to soul-stirring solo moments in the middle of the Pacific, Horta’s follow-up to Adventures and Memoirs of an Airline Pilot is an unflinching and deeply human account of a life lived at full throttle. Honest, thrilling, and often hilarious, this is not just a pilot’s log; it’s a passport to the raw, unpredictable beauty of a world seen from both the cockpit and the ocean swell.
En Captain Bligh Vuela de Nuevo, Henry Horta retoma la historia donde dejó su primer libro de memorias, sumergiendo a los lectores en un vertiginoso viaje a través de cielos tormentosos, olas traicioneras, zonas de guerra y tierras lejanas. Desde aterrizajes de emergencia llenos de adrenalina en un Boeing 747 hasta momentos conmovedores en solitario en medio del Pacífico, la continuación de Adventures and Memoirs of an Airline Pilot es un relato valiente y profundamente humano de una vida vivida a toda velocidad. Honesto, emocionante y a menudo hilarante, este no es solo el registro de un piloto; es un pasaporte hacia la belleza cruda e impredecible de un mundo visto tanto desde la cabina de mando como desde el oleaje del océano.
