Read by John Bennett (1)
'The aeroplane has unveiled for us the true face of the earth.' The account of a pioneer pilot flying the French mails across the continents of Africa and America and described as 'the voice of man's ceaseless challenge to the elements'.
It remains not only a classic of aviation but also one of human courage.
