Maurice Wilson: The Untold Story of the Lone Mount Everest Climber Consider this: It’s 1933, and a British man called Maurice Wilson is flying a small, rickety airplane over the Persian Gulf. The fuel gauge is perilously low, and he’s thousands of feet up in the air above water. He’s only just learned to fly for the first time two months past, and now he’s facing laundry list of problems — arrest warrants, peeved British officers and the very real possibility of plummeting into the ocean. But Wilson isn’t worried. Why? Because he’s on a mission bigger than himself: to ramble his plane into Mount Everest, and then fly climb it — alone. https://www.sociallykeeda.com/maurice-wilson-story
