A volume in The Epic of Flight series from Time-Life Books. This series chronicles the complete history of man in the air from mythological flight to space flight. Each volume focuses on a particular topic, using hundreds of color and b/w photos, paintings, maps and diagrams to illustrate a well-researched and finely-written narrative. About this volume: * The Explorers tells the story of man's aerial conquest of the last earthly frontiers: the North and South Poles, the Great Circle Route to Europe, the highest mountains, the deepest reaches of the South American and African jungles. The conquerors (and would-be...) of the Arctic and Antarctic will be familiar: Byrd, Peary, Amundsen, Nobile; less so the intrepid souls who opened the interior of darker continents: Cobham, Hoyte... 176 pages, 1983.
