Ten of the Best Adventures in the Sky

Professor of Latin David West (University of Newcastle Upon Tyne)

Ten exciting stories tell of the success and failures of many famous inventors and pilots in the quest for flight. Stories include: the first hot-air balloon to carry people, the Wright brothers and the first airplane, Charles Lindberghs nonstop flight from New York City to Paris, Amelia Earharts attempt at a round-the-world flight, breaking the sound barrier, and Felix Baumgartners skydive from space. Feature boxes add additional details and simple maps help readers better understand the flight paths.
