For the very first time, the pilot of a motorised hang-glider crossed the Western Sahara alone and without ground assistance. This feat was achieved by Achille Cesarano, a 30-year-old Italian from Le Marche who flew six thousand kilometres from Ancona to Dakar. In 36 days, 27 stages, 65 hours of flying, 600 litres of fuel and 12 days of forced waiting due to bad weather. Achille flew over Italy, France, Spain, Morocco, the Western Sahara, Mauritania and Senegal. “And Johnny taught me to fly” recounts Achilles’ incredible journey, his passion for flying and his extraordinary encounter with a seagull, who he cared for as it first took to the air and who inspired the technical solution that made his trans-Saharan flight possible.
