Cool Book...interesting
28 May 2005
Format:Hardcover
I read this book years ago,got it at the local library...This is the story of the first people to ever take a helium balloon across the Atlantic Ocean...It tells of the first failed attempt and the 2nd highly successful journey that these men took.At first I thought 'Well it is no big deal',but as I read their story you start to understand just why it had never been done before,it is no small feat...After reading this book I wondered what it would be like to do something for the first time,to take an adventure...so me and a buddy canoed 250 miles down the Mississippi River ,paddling our way south ,staying on islands and having a ball....all because I read this book one week in the winter of 1989...If you read this book you may feel the same way...I give the book 5 stars on the story and the narrative...the photos and maps are very good too....One of my favorite books of all time...
