INGVAR ANDERSSON

Ingvar Andersson has spent more than thirty-five years in the cockpit.

He has flown into places most people only read about — active war zones, humanitarian crises, and some of the world's most challenging environments.

For more than a decade he flew for the United Nations and the Red Cross, transporting peace negotiators and medical teams across Africa and beyond.

He also flew cash shipments worth tens of millions of dollars into conflict zones.

In 2001, during a Red Cross mission over Southern Sudan, his aircraft came under attack.

His co-pilot was killed.

The flight made it home.

Not everyone did.

Some experiences never leave you.

Neither do the questions.

United Nation 090 is his first novel.

Inspired by real missions, real places and a world few people ever get to see, it is not a memoir.

It is a thriller about loyalty, decisions and the price people pay when no one has access to the whole picture.

The callsign is real.

And so is the world behind it.

He holds a Guinness World Record from 1993 — 250 landings in 8 hours and 8 minutes. The following year he landed on every airfield in Sweden.
