Endpapers are maps showing flight paths. Sixteen color photographs in the center.The true account of the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean by men in a balloon. The 1978 voyage by three self-made businessmen from Albuquerque is a tale of great courage, endurance and ingenuity. Sixteen previous attempts had failed, with five lives lost.
