First Flight Around the World: The Adventures of the American Fliers Who Won the Race

(4) 4-6 In 1924, the race was on to circumnavigate the globe by air. The U.S. sent eight brave airmen to accomplish this remarkable navigational, technical, and aeronautical feat. The gripping narrative, "based, in part," on one participant's journal, keeps the pages turning. The book design, which includes archival photographs and reproductions, is off-putting. Maps and an itinerary help track the expedition's progress. Bib., glos., ind.
