It tells the stories of the men and women (let's not forget Amelia Earhart) who had grand dreams of crossing the Pacific by airplane. This book contains ample photo's to accompany the many stories of the adventurous pilots and their struggles to do what was considered impossible. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Wings Across the Pacific tells the epic struggle of the generation of pilots who made the dream of crossing the Pacific, a reality. The feats of Lindbergh and others who crossed the Atlantic have been more celebrated. But the Pacific was to flying what Everest was to mountain climbing: the biggest, most implacable, most irresistible challenge on earth. To fly the Pacific meant aiming for tiny islands amid seventy million square miles of ocean, and the slightest mechanical failure - or error of judgment - could mean a watery grave. Amelia Earhart is only one of many who vanished into the Pacific without a trace. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
