Un pilote de brousse doit affronter l'Harmattan pour sauver une vie à 2 000 km de sa base. 20 heures de vol dans l'enfer du désert... et une mission qui pourrait tout changer. Né en 1953, Jean-Louis Tartevet a passé sa vie dans l'aviation. Issu de l'école des Apprentis mécaniciens de l'Armée de l'Air, il devient pilote professionnel, puis pilote de ligne. Son parcours exceptionnel l'a mené des aéro-clubs des Antilles à la création de sa propre compagnie aérienne, en passant par le Maroc et d'autres pays exotiques. Entre temps, il a été pilote de brousse, commandant de bord, cadre dans une compagnie aérienne majeure et instructeur pour pilotes de ligne. Pour lui, le métier de pilote est avant tout une aventure humaine. Chaque rencontre est un trésor, un apprentissage, une découverte. C'est aussi une aventure technique: son passé de mécanicien lui a permis de développer une relation unique avec les avions, qu'il décrit comme des êtres vivants, avec leurs caractères, leurs souffrances, leurs peines... et leurs joies. Une relation que seuls ceux qui vivent la mécanique peuvent comprendre. Les Perroquets de l'Harmattan mêle le style du roman et celui du récit biographique. Entre les deux, ce sont ses souvenirs qui nous entraînent. Le ton est enlevé, les phrases sonnent juste, et les moments de calme comme ceux d'adrénaline pure sont décrits avec une précision qui vous transporte. → Un roman d'aventure aéronautique captivant, où chaque page vous plonge au coeur de l'Afrique sauvage. Pour les amateurs de récits authentiques, de dépaysement et de passion pour l'aviation !
→ Disponible en Kindle: emportez cette aventure aéronautique partout avec vous !
