Product information "Uli Schwenk - Ambassador of Gliding"
Even though he has eluded great success, Uli Schwenk from Münsingen has achieved legendary status in gliding circles and was even honored as an ambassador for gliding in New Zealand. In his youth, he almost became a competitive rider before the man from the Alpine region decided to make flying his great hobby, his sport. Over the years, Schwenk collected numerous titles and podium finishes, especially in the Open Class, the Formula 1 of gliding. He became German Champion, European Champion, and four times Vice World Champion. Health problems repeatedly set him back, but he always managed to make a comeback. And through it all, he never lost one thing: his almost proverbial sense of humor. This book, illustrated with numerous photos, traces his sporting and personal career.
