Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details a plan for crossing Africa by balloon. Using prevailing winds in southern Africa, a specially-designed balloon could make the journey from Mozambique to Angola in as little as five days, which would be considerably faster than the month or more it takes by sea. The author meticulously explains how favorable winds and altitudes would make such a journey possible, then extrapolates on how this technology could be used to cross other large bodies of land, like the Sahara, or even be used to establish rapid communication between distant points in Europe. Whether the reader's interest lies in the particulars of long-distance balloon travel, or in the history of African exploration, they are likely to find this book engaging and substantial.
