"In 1930 the authors set out to create a record flight around the globe, an objective they achieved in eight days, compared to the 21 days the giant German airship Graf Zeppelin had taken for a similar feat a little earlier.

"They believed, however, the future for international air travel lay with the aeroplane, not the airship, and it was this they set out to prove in Post's Lockheed Vega, single engine monoplane."

A book of 221 pages giving an account of this adventurous flight including preparation, equipment and method of flight. With a facsimile of the log book at the end. Illustrated with b&w photographic plates.

Good condition.
