About this title

Synopsis

This adventurous work records Robert Edison Fulton's solo round-the-world tour on a two-cylinder Douglas motorcycle between July, 1932 and December, 1933. First published in 1937.

About the Author

Robert Edison Fulton began his 18-month adventure on a customized Douglas motorcycle, and shaped the rest of his life. "One of the great advantages of the motorcycle is its ability to bring its rider close to the environment--winds, weather, roads, surroundings, nature." Fulton's incredible journey led him to accomplishments such as inventing the Airphibian flying automobile, the Air Force's Skyhook air-sea rescue system, and sculptured Water-Wings. Today, at 89 years of age, he still lives a creative life in Connecticut.
