On July 1, 1935, exactly thirty-two years, six months, and fifteen days after the Wright Brothers' maiden voyage, two pilots in Meridian, MS, proved to the world just how far an airplane could fly and how much it and its pilots could endure. When their tiny, single-engine Curtiss Robin airplane landed before an enthusiastic crowd of between 30,000 and 40,000 well-wishers, brothers Al and Fred Key had stayed above the earth longer than any other human beings. For 653 hours and 34 minutes - a total of twenty-seven nonstop days and nights - the brothers had circled the city of Meridian. Had their flight been in a straight line, they would have circumnavigated the globe more than twice. This 1985 edition celebrated the 50th Anniversary of their flight. A presentable copy with a very rare signature. Signed by Author(s).

From Foreword: On the soil of that many-legended island, whose true history is here revealed, I first had the keen pleasure of listening to some of these pages, still in manuscript. With a small party of friends, we leaned against roofless walls of grey coquina, in a chambered ruin, overshadowed from the quick Floridian sunshine by ghostly hanging mosses, which the sea-warm air stirred on their ancient cedar boughs. And soon, in strange consonance with that air and scene, there came on the reader's voice an unforgettable word of dulcet vowels -- the earliest name of that island -- Alimacani.
