Discover the extraordinary story of Maurice Wilson, a British WWI veteran, mystic, and aviator, who embarked on a solo mission to conquer Mount Everest in 1934. With minimal flying experience and no mountaineering background, Wilson devised a bold plan: fly from England to the Himalayas, crash-land on Everest's slopes, and reach the summit alone. Defying government restrictions, he piloted his Gipsy Moth biplane, "Ever-Wrest," across continents, facing numerous challenges en route. Disguised as a Buddhist monk, Wilson trekked through Tibet, reaching the base of Everest. Despite his unwavering faith and determination, his attempt ended tragically. Wilson's body was discovered in 1935 by a British expedition, his daring endeavor largely forgotten by history. This video delves into Wilson's audacious journey, exploring his motivations, the obstacles he faced, and the legacy of his ill-fated quest to summit the world's highest peak.
