Book Summary
Jungle Pilot chronicles the inspiring life, ministry, and ultimate martyrdom of Nate Saint, a pioneering pilot with Mission Aviation Fellowship. Saint utilized aviation technology to reach unreached tribes in the Ecuadorian jungle before he and four fellow missionaries were killed by the Waorani (Auca) people in 1956. Russell Hitt draws upon Saint's personal journals and letters to depict a man passionately surrendered to the Great Commission.
