Items related to Flying Enterprise & Kurt Carlsen
"Men die. Fools die. But never does a man's reputation die..." IN A PERSONAL ACCOUNT from his meetings with Kurt Carlsen, the author tells, for the first time, the complete life story of the famous seaman: About his childhood in Elsinore, where his father was a gaffer in the peat bogs, and about his love for beautiful, petite Agnes from the fishing community in Blåvand. And not least, about the drama that assembled the world around the radio, 60 years ago. THE BOOK "FLYING ENTERPRISE" contains a wealth of new information spiced with hundreds of authentic pictures from private collections, from the 16 mm films of friends and from personal interviews. But first and foremost, the dramatic pictures and minute-by-minute accounts give a hitherto unknown insight into the shipwreck. Lastly, the book relates the story of Kurt Carlsen's final, singular voyage, when the captain's ashes were to be spread in the English Channel in 1990 - but because of another hurricane, sailed there via Japan.
